Mephedrone (4-MMC) Synthesis [2B4M, Etyhyl Acetate, Methylamine HCl]

[Anarchy Labz]

It would be awesome to have a video of this synthesis

There is one, in the video section. Exactly this

@gpatton please tell this noob(me) what role the NAOH and sodium bicarbonate play in this synthesis. Appreciate an answer.thanks

117.6% of the 2-b-4-mp amount. You write me the calculation. ( tip: it is the heavier element divided by the lighter one

As Hanna520 wrote in the another thread, it is better to prepare alc. methylamine for this synthesis. You will get fewer problems associated with the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. You can use triethylamine, ethanol or methanol, or THF. Get a solution of gas and a precipitate of salts without water. It is easy to separate by decanting and you can start your synthesis more successfully. For small quantities this is usually not a problem, but if you want to synthesize several kg at a time it will be significantly different.
