6-acetylcodeine + pyridine = 6-mam

Under what conditions would the above work? How much would BBr3 improve yields?

 

acording to what im looking at hydrogentribromide will make a more complete conversion the forensic guy who did the work up for review led it out of the window where all the insects died its "fuming TOXIC shit " also i may have read phosgene may be produced if done wrong , im trying to find out what conc, pyridine is needed plus water needs to be kept out ,
