An Improved Process for the N-Demethylation of Opiate Alkaloids using an Iron(II) Catalyst in Acetate Buffer
2009
An improved process to N-demethylate opiate alkaloids utilising a solution of the ferrous porphyrin, tetrasodium 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrinatoiron(II) [=Fe(II)-TPPS (8)], in acetate buffer is described. This method provided the corresponding N-demethylated opiates in good yield with high reproducibility.
