This paper describes a method based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology for rapid detection of dezocine in urine and serum. Firstly, an Ag colloid substrate was prepared and characterized. Then the Raman characteristic peaks of dezocine were assigned from both theoretical and experimental aspects. Finally, the Raman peak at 661 cm−1 was selected as its characteristic peak to perform SERS detection on dezocine in urine and serum, and the detection limits of dezocine in urine and serum were determined. The relationships between the characteristic peak intensity and the concentration of dezocine in urine and serum were fitted and the recovery rates were calculated. This rapid, accurate and non-destructive method establishes a good foundation for rapid on-site detection of dezocine in biological samples.

Continuous flow technology has been widely adopted in manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Herein, we report an expeditious multi-step continuous-flow strategy for an efficient and highly productive flow synthesis of 7-methoxy-1-tetralone, which is an essential intermediate for the opioid analgesic drug (-)-dezocine. Compared with the traditional batch operation, this work presents significant advantages of continuous-flow chemistry with dramatically reduced reaction time, highly improved reaction efficiency, good controls over reaction optimizing conditions, etc. The flow protocol in this work provided the desired product in an overall yield of up to 76.6% with 99% purity, much higher than those from batch process (i.e., 50% yield, 92% purity). Moreover, reaction efficiency is highly improved with a throughput of 0.49 g/h, the total reaction time is markedly reduced from hours in batch to minutes in flow process. Graphical abstract
