Reaction Steps

To a 50 mL flask was charged 3.986 g (12.64 mmoles) of low ABUK oxycodone base prepared by combining the sample from Examples 8 and 8A (purified via hydrogenation) (composite: 2 ppm 8α,14-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrocodeinone, 35 ppm 8α,14-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrocodeinone, 1.06A % 6-oxycodol, 98.42A % pure by HPLC) and 24 mL of denatured ethanol (SDA3A). The mixture (slurry) was heated to reflux for 1.5 h, cooled to RT, and then 0-5° C. Solid was isolated by filtration, rinsed and dried. 3.307 g of purified low ABUK oxycodone base was obtained (2.7 ppm 14-hydroxycodeinone, undetected 8α,14-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrocodeinone by LC/MS, 11 ppm 8β,14-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrocodeinone by LC/MS, 0.21 HPLC A % 6-oxycodol; 99.71A % pure by HPLC).
