Reaction Steps

Oxycodone has also been prepared from thebaine bitartrate and codeinone ethyldienol ether by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in formic acid and isopropanol, followed by catalytic hydrogenation5. Oxycodone has also been prepared by the oxidation with peracetic acid of codeinone dienol silylether in organic solvents to give 14-hydroxycodeinone, followed by catalytic hydrogenation in acetic acid solution15.
