Diamporphine hydrochloride and derivatives

Will diamorphine hydrochloride react with sodium hydroxide to give diamorphine free base? Yes or No.

Not a drug dealer! Its an exam question!

Nope. I'm pretty sure it would not.

ACUTALLY:
I want to change my above answer.
My mistake.... I am fairly certain that it WOULD produce the free base form by reacting it with sodium hydroxide.
Sorry.....

Thanks, but can you give me an idea how? An equation maybe or point me somewhere I can find one?

Re: Diamporphine hydrochloride and derivatives

An amine hydrochloride will obviously be neutralized by sodium hydroxide solution. Look at the pKa values. Kinetics of reaction can depend on steric hindrance and electronics, e.g., 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthlene.

Will NaOH do evil to other parts of your molecule?
