[edit] Description
Codeine is widely used as an analgesic and is the methyl ether of morphine. While it occurs naturally in opium to a small extent, it has been prepared synthetically by methylation of the phenolic hydroxyl group in morphine. Thus, it is known to prepare codeine by the reaction of morphine with a methylating agent such as dimethyl sulfate or trimethylphenyl ammonium ethoxide or trimethylphenyl ammonium hydroxide in the presence of a base such as aqueous sodium hydroxide, or alcoholic sodium ethoxide.
