Codeinone
Chemical compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Codeinone is an isoquinolone alkaloid[1] found in the opium poppy.[2] As an analgesic, it is one-third the potency of codeine. It is an important intermediate in the production of hydrocodone–a painkiller about three-quarters the potency of morphine[citation needed]–as well as of oxycodone,[3] though the latter can also be synthesized from thebaine.[4]
