Procedure
Noribogaine is synthesized by the O-demethylation of ibogaine. This may be accomplished, for example, by reacting ibogaine with boron tribromide/methylene chloride at room temperature and then purifying the product using known procedures. At present, noribogaine may also be obtained from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (Rockville, Md.). The compound has the following structure:
