Procedure

To a suspension of morphine (0.5 g, 1.75 mmol) in saturated NaHCO3 solution (25 mL), acetic anhydride (0.5 mL, 5.25 mmol) was added dropwise and allowed to stir for 3 hours. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC and after the completion; reaction mixture was extracted 6 times with dichloromethane. Dichloromethane layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to get solid 3-acetylmorphine. 0.34 g (59% yield). GC-MS, 1H and 13C NMR confirmed the structure.
