N Methyl cleavage

liftedresearch - 3-4-2017 at 07:03

Hello all,

I have a few things that I need guidance with. The first being the cleavage of the N methyl group of morphine, the second being would the reaction conditions destroy the rest of the compound?
Any refs or advice would be much obliged.
Thanks again

Ugh. Not this shit again. Either learn to be a chemist and ask better questions here, or go be a kewl kook with the shake-n-bake crowd. Until you know enough to know what questions are clearly cookery-related, DON'T ASK THEM!

Seems like reacting it in an aqueous oxidizing environment will do the job based on a cursory search of the google

Add a little chili pepper, call it "Chili P", and adopt the street name of "Cap'n Cook".
