I have read that the homebake heroin laboratories found in New Zealand obtain their morphine hydrochloride or freebase and combine it with the acid anhydride and either ignite the mixture or bake it in an oven as a reflux-type reaction. Is the former correct? Wouldn't that destroy most of the morphine? Would the ignition provide the right amount of energy for the reaction and an anhydrous environment?
