Resumo

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.<br />
