Has anyone tried Epikur´s synth yet?

Well I found out now, that dope_amine who did
the write up of codeine > oxycodone
https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/oxycodone2.html
has recognized an error in that synth from epikur.
Ok here´s what he wrote one and half year before
after someone had asked for the critical step Epikur left out:

It's honestly really simple. Everything is fine with the oxycodone synth like I posted above, but Epikur says to
add the methionine and everything else and then heat it. Well, I did this and the reaction didn't work so
I went and looked up the original article (what I should have done to begin with) and the article said that you
heat the solution with everything except the methionine to 40 and THEN the methionine is added.
I haven't gotten a chance to go at it again cuz the last codiene I turned into morphine (BBr3) and then acetylated it
(yum) to the purest dope I've ever done. But that should do da tricky.
Here´s the link for that topic.
