Ok, heres the situation. Ive extracted codiene from Tylenol 1's but its absolutely unusable, the bitterness of the solution is such that Im looking for any advise on how to get rid of the wreched acetaminophen. Sodium hydroxide works with A,C&C because aspirin is nearly insoluable while codiene phosphate is very soluable. Right now, getting AC&C is virtually impossible on account of a supply shortage. ANYWAY, getting back on point, if NaOH cant be used to destroy and remove the acetaminophen what would be my next step? is there a chemical way to get rid of this accursed acetaminophen? or can the codiene be isolated from the acetaminophen?
