  • Patent number: 7855296
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making (?)-cocaine efficient for use on a large scale. The cocaine is created by reacting an aqueous solution of (+)-2-carbomethoxytropinone (2-CMT) bitartrate, sodium amalgam and an acid that forms a highly soluble sodium salt to form (?)-methylecgonine. (?)-Methylecgonine is converted into (?)-cocaine. Sodium amalgam is continuously supplied from an electrolyzing unit to a reactor containing the aqueous solution of (+)-2-carbomethoxytropinone bitartrate and spent amalgam is continuously removed and regenerated. The aqueous solution is prepared by adding (rac)-2-CMT in chloroform to a solution of (+)-tartaric acid in water to create an aqueous phase having diastereomeric salts of 2-CMT with (+)-tartaric acid. An organic solvent is added to the aqueous phase and the crystals obtained from the combined aqueous phase and organic solvent are dried to obtain substantially pure crystalline (+)-2-carbomethoxytropinone bitartrate.
