My first synthesis of mephedrone on DCM. + photos.

[EHRMANTRAUT]

I am glad to welcome you. So, my report on the synthesis of mephedrone. write without mood because at the end of the synthesis was made a mistake. about this you will learn at the end of the article. and so everything in order.

I got a tester for 4mmms.

It contained methylamine, bk4, acetone, dichloromethane and acid.

And so, step one. Well, that's easy.
pour 100 grams of bk4 into our flask (I had a 1 liter flask).

measure out about 350 ml of dcm

.

after bk4 was completely dissolved into dcm

We add methylamine in portions so that the temperature does not rise above normal. So, the methylamine is poured, cork the holes and install a thermometer...

the temperature started to rise from the first minute. great!!!!
Then you're in for the most boring hours. In my case, 2 hours and 30 minutes. (and remember to keep stirring and looking at the thermometer.)

after the right time has passed, put our flask and wait for a clear separation of the layers.

and so the layers are separated as you can see in the photo, let's move on to rinsing.

I forgot to take a picture. Well, it's fucking complicated. add 100-150 ml of distilled water, soak well. the top layer to the disposal (in my case for extradition) and so on until the smell of methylamine is gone. it took me 4 washes.


This is what's supposed to be scrapped. I added a little dichloromethane and a good whisking and that's what we got.

take the bottom layer and send it to the main mass....

acidification step

​

I was afraid of this most of all and I will tell you not in vain. here my synthesis and came to the end. I poured acidic acid very slowly and carefully, each time checking the indicator px. pressed... ok, again poured acid but already less... again waited, checked the indicator and at some point after the next few drops of reaction mass became amber color. I take the indicator again, measure..... oh shit!!! peroxidized!!!! to about 0 or 1. bitch!!!!.

but that's it folks, at this point the synthesis has been completed. so be very careful during the acidification stage. thanks for your attention everyone.

p.s

and I also want to express my gratitude to the creators of the forum and its team. this forum has a place in the top of the first. a unique site. and I am ready to help you in its development. and especially deserve the attention of "C" and "U" guys you are cool. thank you for the trust and the opportunity to prove themselves, but happened what happened. my own fault. but you learn from mistakes.

I was wrong, folks. I think he's alive. It's three hours later.

I assume that the 2b4m used was very dirty

 

[EHRMANTRAUT]

No my friend, bk4 was the purest. the problem was my haste and ignorance of certain aspects.

 

[w2x3f5]

your 2b4m yellow color, its mean have impurities and after your meph still have yellow colour

 

[EHRMANTRAUT]

Anyway, guys, I got off to a good start, but eventually the can was broken. So my first synthesis went to shit.
I'm sorry. But mistakes will be made, and next time it'll be better.

 

[Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton]

Good job!
Much better than I had the first time around
Yeah, it happens, some ridiculousness spoils the synthesis.
What you've over-acidified is not critical. But you did break the synthesis protocol a little bit. Of course, it could have been fixed. But the jar broke....
I'm sure it'll work next time. The main thing is to write to us and ask and we will give you advice.

 

[EHRMANTRAUT]

thank you. yes, my haste led me to such a result, I agree with you. for the next time I will buy additional equipment, namely a magnetic stirrer, because stirring in my hands for 2.5 hours is not the best thing to do.

 

[Jesse_Pinkman_]

For acidification:
Try it with icecold HCI and a dripping funnel, every 2 Seconds 1 drop, use a magnetic stirrer to keep the RM in motion all the time and you can put some icecold dcm into IT when its getting to warm.
Worked well for me.

 

[EHRMANTRAUT]

Thanks, man. Yeah, I'll try it next time.

the time I make mdma I let evertime base on the side when he go down you can bring him up with the base you have on the side

 

[Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton]

You can do the same thing here

What is yield on this method?

 

[SoldadoDeDrogas]

Very awesome friend! I am happy to see everything unfolding as it was meant to. It is very cool to see a first attempt be successful, ( for the most part ;] ) and with a little push from lady luck. How often does it happen, that a well versed chemist is successful with a first synthesis, let alone someone less experienced? Mistakes can be a good thing if not too costly. A great teacher at the very least. Try to be as precise and detailed as possible and keep records of your results and over time this will increase your understanding and skill so you can be the best you can bee. Good job! Thank you!

 

[EHRMANTRAUT]

good to hear that my friend. yes, sometimes our mistakes motivate us to do even better.
