摘要
The MnO2 oxidation of codeine methyl ether, CME, to thebaine has been accomplished via the use of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, bmimBF(4). The ionic liquid has been used to remove or extract excess MnO2, and associated impurities from the reaction mixture to afford thebaine in 36 to > 95% yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
