A method for synthesizing hydrochloric acid hydroxy morphinones
The invention discloses a synthesis method of oxymorphone hydrochloride. The synthesis method mainly comprises the following steps of: 1) alkalifying to obtain free alkali by taking oxycodone hydrochloride as an initial a raw material; 2) carrying out a demethylation reaction to obtain oxymorphone; 3) carrying out a hydrogenation reaction on the oxymorphone under acidic condition; and 4) salifying the hydrogenated product with hydrochloric acid to obtain the target product oxymorphone hydrochloride. The synthesis method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of available raw materials, high product purity and is easy to operate and is applicable to industrial production.

METHOD FOR MAKING ANALGESICS
Improved analgesic oxymorphone hydrochloride contains less than 10 ppm of alpha, beta unsaturated ketones and pharmaceutical preparations comprising such oxymorphone hydrochloride. The oxymorphone hydrochloride is produced by reducing a starting material oxymorphone hydrochloride using gaseous hydrogen and under specified acidity, solvent system and temperature conditions. A specific polymorph of oxymorphone hydrochloride may be obtained by hydration.
