Chemical structure

Morphinone can be described as the ketone of morphine.

Legal status

Morphinone itself is an active opioid, though its potency is closer to codeine than morphine.[citation needed] It is, however, an important precursor and would fall under the purview of the Controlled Substances Act within the United States. Its legal status in other countries varies.
