Abstract

Capillary gas chromatographic methodology Is described for the detection of trace quantitles of narcotine-and norlaudanoslne-related manufacturing impurities in illicit heroin. N- Acetylnornarcotine (2), N-acetyianhydronornarceine (3a, b), 1-acetoxy-N-acetyianhydro-1, 9- dihydronornarceine (4a, b), and (E)-34 2-(2 4 N-methylacetamido) et hyi)-4, 5-(met hylenedloxy)-6-methoxyphenyl] acryllc acid (5) result from the reaction of narcotine (1) ...
