The Identification and Determination of N-Allylnormorphine Hydrochloride*

Organic Polarography

“…Ar-Allylmorphine hydrochloride gives a polarographic wave which is considered to involve the reduction of the allyl double bond. Since this group has been shown in simpler derivatives to be resistant to polarographic reduction, the possibility of a cleavage of the allyl group from the nitrogen must be considered as an explanation for the reduction (314).…”

Review - Pharmaceuticals and Natural Drugs

“…Quantitative evaluation of A'-allylnormorphine is possible by ultraviolet absorption measurements at 285 µ or by polarographv (half-wave potential, -1.6 volts vs. S.C.E. in 2M lithium chloride) (333). After preliminary extraction of atropine sulfate or scopolamine hydrobromide, carbon tetrachloride solutions have been used for quantitative infrared analysis of these compounds in ointment preparations (395).…”
