The workup hasn't been described. However, contamination by benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol can be minimized by adding acetaldehyde in the reaction mixture, as described in the procedure that I wrote above. I was more interested in the production than the purification
What I sometimes do to increase the amount of nutrient in my medium is add some homemade nutritional yeast that I make from spent brewing yeast, as it contains all the nutrients needed to support the growth of SC
For the love of god, please stop using ChatGPT for chemistry and sciences in general. The google search engine exists, how intellectually lazy can one get?
Melting point is around 10°C for phenyacetylcarbinol.
BTW, are you saying you are just mixing molasses and water without fermenting? The...
Yes. It is used to removes oxygen from the reaction vessel and to lower the boiling point of chloroform so that it doesn't have to be heated as long or as strong as under atmospheric pressure.
LSD and its precursors is very reactive with oxygen and heat and readily undergo degradation if not...
I think that to obtain pure crystals you would need to do a column crystalography. Sadly, no easy to follow tek for this exists, you would need to read about this in scientific articles.
It lacks a bit in clarity, but nothing insurmountable if you understand what's going on
Here you use xylene to extract your amine (produced from the amide) that is "floating" in the reaction mixture. As the amine is in the freebase form, it's insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvants...
The question you want to ask isn't "how to print LSD" but "How to print blotters". To print blotters, it's as simple as putting blank blotter paper in a printer and choosing the pattern you want.
This is a typical example of acid-base reaction. When you react an amphetamine salt like amphetamine hydrochloride (HCl) or amphetamine sulphate with a base like ammonia the base removes the HCl part to yield amphetamine freebase. Salts are usually soluble in water while the freebase isn't.
You...
Yup mate, you've gotta speak english (pretty sure I've seen in a french forum before, LMP or cosa nostra maybe).
I think you're searching for amphetamine freebase, which is sometimes called A oil and can be found in speed. You can also buy amphetamine HCl (the powder) and then freebase it...
It is, H2 can cause explosion at a minimal concentration of 4%. For it to be a real concern you would have to use quite a lot of it to fill a normal room at this point.
Ventilate your workspace correctly and that shouldn't be a problem.
If there's anywhere on the DN that can be called a "forum of chemists", here might just be it. It might help if you precised what compound you are searching for, as people that could provide it could come up
Introduction
L-phenylacetylcarbinol is a compound used in the synthesis of ephedrine, itself used as a precursor to amphetamines. Industrially, it is synthesized by the aerobic fermentation of benzaldehyde by baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae/SC). While the process is quite simple, it can require a...
