    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    I liked you cell design and now i am working on my own cell aswell. when i am done, i will show you, and maybe than you can explain me in detail, how to set this up with reference electrode and make the adjustments. electrochemistry is new for me. What kind of reference electrode is prefered in...

    Methamphetamine synthesis from 1- Phenyl -2 Propanone (P2P) by reductive amination with Sodium Triacetoxyborohydride (STAB)

    Does this work in the same manner with ammonia or ammonium acetate to form amphetamine? Need an easy way to go to amphetamine from the ketone. Titanium(IV)isopropoxide is an option, but expensive.

    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    Circulating anolyte is a great option for cooling. Especially when you run the cell for long time. Maybe the setup will be more complex but doable. Hg Pool cathode should work fine, but i would prefer to avoid Hg in any cases. I think i will stay with lead electrode. In the references it says...

    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    Indeed, this chart is very helpful. Didn't know, that methanol is the better solvent. Of using HCl i heard earlier. And i think i tried once. The RM doesn't get so red as with sulfuric acid. What kind of electrodes you are planning to use? Otto Snow... wow, i remember that dude. Thank you that...

    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    I had this idea for cooling aswell. wanted to use a glass tubing coil immersed in the anode compartment, but never tried, because my cell was already very small. It looks like you are really have the knowledge about electrochemistry. the stuff with reference electrode etc. was too high for me...

    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    This one looks great! Can you explain this? Is this a little geared dc motor on top for stirring? I stirred just with a stirring rod on a magnetic hotplate stirrer And the inside chamber is a porous clay cup? I see two terminals for electrode connection. Is the blue cable a thermometer probe, or...

    Electrolytic reduction of P2NP to yield amphetamine

    I tried this methods before. It works, but yields are not so great but ok. I got 2,5g - 3g sulphate from 5g P2NP I used lead plates, cut from roofing lead. You have to use clean, blank surface on your electrodes. Using porous clay pot for seperating your anode/cathode compartments works fine...

    Methamphetamine synthesis from P2P via Aluminum amalgam

    Al/Hg workup can be nasty. Why is everybody decanting, filtering or extracting the sludge? You can filter through celite in your buchner funnel. this prevents clogging your filter. But for me the best is, after reaction is completed, adding water and NaOH to basify and then steam distill your...

    Amphetamine via P2P + Ammonia NaBH4 reductive amination?

    Hello, P2P + Methylamine reductive amination with NaBH4 is pretty common, in either wet, or for better yield, dry conditions. But i never heard of P2P + ammonia reductive amination. I know that imine formation with ammonia is very water sensitive and difficult. But isn't it possible to run...

    P2P via Benzaldehyde and MEK

    american gopnik attached this paper. but an easy way to get access to research papers is sci-hub.wf, most of you should know. just copy paste the DOI number of the article and the pdf should open. like this link here. https://sci-hub.wf/10.1016/j.forsciint.2016.03.034 If this would work like in...

    P2P via Benzaldehyde and MEK

    I found this paper aswell, and it looks very promising. Sounds like this route is verified by forensic chemists. But i never heard of some real life results. Hoped this procedure could help to become independent of P2NP Fe/HCl or nitroethane in general. Anyone had success with this?

    Amphetamine Hydrochloride salt formation

    Hello, everyone is forming the sulphate or phosphate salt. But i would prefer the hydrochloride salt, because it is readily soluble and be smokeable. Its very hygroscopic but formation is easy. 1. Get your freebase in your desired way. Al/Hg, NaBH4 etc. 2. Mix with fair amount of Toluene 3...
