Yield:125-71-3 97.98%
Reaction Conditions:
with sodium hydroxide in chloroform;water; for 0.5 h;
Steps:
Demethylation of DM
A solution of 2.68 g (67 mmol) of sodium hydroxide in 50 ml of water was added to a solution of 25 g (67 mmol) of dextromethorphan hydrobromide hydrate in 100 ml of chloroform.
The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min on a magnetic stirrer.
The organic layer was separated and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
The solvent was evaporated on a rotavap.
The obtained freebase of dextromethorphan was a dense and viscous off-white oil which solidified upon standing. Yield: 17.95 g (97.98%).
