The disassembly is a derivative of morphine with strong sedative and analgesic effects [ 2 ] , [ 3 ] , [ 4 ] , discovery and patented in Germany in 1922 [ 5 ] , then in the United States in 1934 [ 6 ] . It is used with the trade name Permonid in Swiss [ 7 ] , then abandoned in 1981 because of its side and addictive effects [ 8 ] .

It reappears as a narcotic substitution for heroin in Siberia in 2002 under the name of ” dope crocodile » or « Crocodile ” (in Russian : «Crocodile» ), and its use spread in Russia in 2010 [ 9 ] , [ ten ] .

The codeine first undergoes a nucleophilic substitution of its hydroxyl group by thionyl chloride, forming the α-chlorocodide. The catalytic reduction of the latter produces deocodéine. Disococodeine finally undergoes a demethylation of its Methoxybenzene group in a phenolic group to form dice [ 11 ] [What ?] .

Synthesis of dicipation from codeine.

Use (and rumors of use) as a narcotic [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The main danger of this drug comes from impurities linked to its artisanal manufacture. Many acidic and toxic by-products damage the tissues located at the location of injections, making them similar to the scales of the skin of a crocodile-hence the nickname frequently associated with this drug-and in the short term lead to Putrefaction [ twelfth ] , [ 13 ] . Journalists described it as “the most dangerous drug in the world” [ 14 ] .

Several rumors of arrival of this drug in the West have been launched [ 15 ] Then denials [ 16 ] , [ 17 ] , in particular in 2011 by the French observatory of drugs and drug addiction [ 18 ] , in 2012 by the European Drug Observatory and drug addiction [ 19 ] , as well as in 2013 in Canada [ 20 ] and in 2014 in the United States [ 21 ] . Rare and isolated cases with the use of dice were reported in Spain in 2014 [ 22 ] and in the United Kingdom in 2019 [ 23 ] .
