Krokodil—Morphine’s Deadly Derivative
Graphically publicized in the media, the use of Krokodil, a heroin-like morphine derivative, has grown in Eastern Europe the last decade. The popularity of the injectable drug has grown in part due to its inexpensive and simple manufacturing process through the use of codeine tablets.

Sulfate esters of morphine derivatives: Synthesis and characterization
Sixteen 3-O- and 6-O-sulfate esters of morphine, codeine and some of their N-methyl quaternary derivatives were synthesized by means of sulfation with pyridine-SO(3) complex and sulfuric acid/N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Complete (1)H- and (13)C-NMR assignments are given for each of the synthesized compounds based on one- and two-dimensional homo ...
