The action of strong hydrocholoric acid upon morphine changes it into apomorphine, C H NO , by the withdrawal of a molecule of water. Ferricyanide of potassium and caustic soda solution change morphine into oxidimorphine, C H N O . When heated with strong potassium hydrate, it yields methylamine. In this case, instead of opianic acid, its reduction product meconine, C H O , is produced.
A knowledge of this fact is important, or it may be mistaken for magenta. The behavior of the amylic alcohol, thus colored red, with hydrochloric acid and ammonia is characteristic. If the red color is due to magenta, it is destroyed by both these reagents, while hydrocholoric acid does not decolorize the solutions of archil and cudbear, and ammonia turns their red color to a purple violet.
