Reaction Steps

To 20ml of cold saturated potassium carbonate solution in a 125ml separator funnel was added a solution of 5.0g (213 mmoles) ecgonine methyl ester hydrochloride in 5ml water. The aqueous mixture was extracted with 4 × 60ml of chloroform. The combined chloroform extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium carbonate and evaporated in vacuo. Pumping at 0.05mm Hg for 15 minutes yielded 4.0g (93%) of TLC pure (20:1 CHCl3 :MeOH) ecgonine methyl ester.
