Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide processes for removing Michael acceptors mixed in oxycodone and other compositions.SOLUTION: A composition is treated with a thiol-containing compound under conditions sufficient to remove at least a portion of the at least one Michael acceptor and/or a thiol-Michael adduct which can form from addition of the thiol-containing compound to the at least one Michael acceptor. Subsequent to formation of thiol-Michael adduct at pH-6 in one embodiment of the process used to remove 14-hydroxycodeinone from oxycodone, the pH of the reaction mixture is increased to precipitate and/or extract oxycodone organic base from an aqueous solution with most of the thiol-Michael adduct and excess sodium thioglyclolate remaining in aqueous solution.
