Palladium‐Catalyzed 2‐Phenylethenylation of Codeine: 8‐[(1E)‐2‐Phenylethenyl]codeinone Dimethyl Ketal as the Unexpected ‘Masked’ Diene for the Preparation of 19‐Substituted Diels–Alder Adducts of Thebaine

In a search for starting materials for the preparation of 7,8‐fused morphine alkaloid derivatives, 8‐[(1E‐2‐phenylethenyl]codeinone dimethyl ketal ( 4 ) and 8‐[(1E‐2‐phenylethenyl]codeine ( 5 ) were prepared. These dienes were used as substrates in the Diels–Alder reactions. Compound 5 formed the ‘normal’ adduct 12 with N‐phenylmaleimide, while compound 4 behaved in reactions with dienophiles as the ‘masked’ diene 11 , a 8‐[(1E)‐2‐phenylethenyl]‐substituted thebaine, yielding the corresponding 19‐substituted 6,14‐endo‐etheno‐6,7,8,14‐tetrahydrothebaines. Specifically, reaction of 4 with methyl vinyl ketone gave rise to 19‐[(1E)‐phenylethenyl]thevinone ( 14 ) whose structure was elucidated by an X‐ray diffraction analysis. The thebaine derivative 11 was also prepared from 4 .     

Kinetic determination of codeine in pharmaceutical preparations

A kinetic method for the determination of codeine, based on its inhibitor action on the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by cobalt(II), is presented. It has been found that the effect of codeine is most pronounced in the presence of 5% v/v ethylene glycol. The reaction is followed photometrically. Codeine can be determined in concentrations ranging from 0.80×10^–5 M to 2.4×10^–5 M. The method has been applied to the determination of codeine in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Preparation and characterization of a codeine responsive electrode

Summary The behaviour of codeine reineckate and codeine tetraphenylborate membrane electrodes has been observed with a respectiveNernstian response of 58 and 56 mV/decade for 9.3×10^–5–1.3×10^–3 M codeine sulfate solutions. The workingpH ranges were 5–8 and 4–8, respectively. The selectivity towards sugars, amines, amino acids, cations, and some pharmaceutical compounds was found to be satisfactory. The isothermal temperature coefficient was 0.0014 V/°C. The electrodes were applied successfully for the determination of codeine in some pharmaceutical dosage forms with a relative standard deviation range of 0.16–0.30% and an average recovery of 98.6±0.6%.

Mechanism of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization of morphine,codeine, and thebaine in corona discharge–ion mobility spectrometry: Protonation,ammonium attachment,and carbocation formation

Atmospheric pressure chemical ionizations (APCIs) of morphine, codeine, and thebaine were studied in a corona discharge ion source using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) at temperature range of 100°C–200°C. Density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) and M062X/6‐311++G(d,p) levels of theory were used to interpret the experimental data. It was found that in the presence of H₃O⁺ as reactant ion (RI), ionization of morphine and codeine proceeds via both the protonation and carbocation formation, whereas thebaine participates only in protonation. Carbocation formation (fragmentation) was diminished with decrease in the temperature. At lower temperatures, proton‐bound dimers of the compounds were also formed. Ammonia was used as a dopant to produce NH₄⁺ as an alternative RI. In the presence of NH₄⁺, proton transfer from ammonium ion to morphine, codeine, and thebaine was the dominant mechanism of ionization. However, small amount of ammonium attachment was also observed. The theoretical calculations showed that nitrogen atom of the molecules is the most favorable proton acceptor site while the oxygen atoms participate in ammonium attachment. Furthermore, formation of the carbocations is because of the water elimination from the protonated forms of morphine and codeine.

Surface-Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Opium Alkaloids

Surface ionization of the opium alkaloids morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaverine, and narcotine was investigated by mass spectrometry. It was shown that the alkaloid molecules were ionized with high efficiency through surface ionization. The mass spectra of morphine, codeine, and thebaine exhibited series of lines for quasimolecular ions with elimination of up to nine H atoms from the opiates that was accompanied by heterogeneous aromatization of the rings and their skeletal rearrangement. The results were compared with GC-MS data from electron ionization.
