In this video I will be synthesising 1-phenyl-2-propanone from 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene. This reaction simply reduces the nitro functional group and tautomerizes it into the imine. The imine then undergoes hydrolysis to form 1-phenyl-2-propanone.

Thanks @Irving Langmuir for sharing.
A quick way to synthesize crack cocaine is the alkalization of cocaine salt form (cocaine hydrochloride) by adding alkali to cocaine hydrochloride water solution. As the result of this reaction, cocaine free base (crack) is formed, which isn't soluble in water and can be isolated from the solution.
The new release of the salt smoking experiment is available exclusively on Breaking Bad forum.
You will find a description of the properties of eleven salts (adipate, aspartate, benzoate, bromide, glutamate, hydrochloride, phosphate, tartrate, succinate, malate, glutamate hydrochloride) when exposed
This method describes how to turn racemic ephedrine hydrochloride to methamphetamine via relatively simple reaction with iodine (I2) and hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2).
