I had been so tunnel visioned on one reaction for the last 3 years that I never really cared about any others. The last time I did care I was woefully lacking proper knowledge and was more or less blindly fumbling around the internet. Three years later though I can't believe how difficult I thought things were and I can't believe how difficult everyone thinks things are. After having revisited many reactions and synthesizes I saw back in the day it has just occurred to me how incredibly easy and accessible all reactions are and that the only thing really standing in people's way are their own laziness. Virtually every reagent that people think is a roadblock to their synthesis can be made themselves. Nothing new here other then the epiphany that people really are just too lazy to make their own reagents instead of thinking that going through the time, risk, and stress of purchasing them is the only way.
Want red phosphorus? OMG what am I going to do?! Steal some? Risk tricking a source to send me some? Spend 3 years cutting millions of matches? How about just go cook some of your piss. Yep, letting your urine sit for a week then mixing with cinnamon and charcoal then distilling the vapor into water will make white phosphorous and from there you can either heat in oven or expose to sun to get red phosphorus.
Want anhydrous ammonia? Lets go rob a farm right? Yeah or you could just take a leak again. Better yet just go to the grocery store and buy some regular ammonia then simply distill through calcium oxide to dry then capture in a cold finger condenser charged by dry ice and acetone.
Ephedrine? After looking through things with a more educated brain it amazes me that people still fuck with cold pills or ever did! You can make kilos of that stuff from benzaldehyde which you can make a number of ways from oxidation or electrolysis of toulene, hydrolysis of benzyl cholride, oxidation of benzyl alcohol, to probably the easiest refluxing cinnamaldehyde.
Sassasfras? Do you have any idea how easy it is to distill essential oils from plants?? Hell there is a herbal shop 2 miles from me that literally has bags of sassafras bark for sale. Not too mention the countless other plants you can distill from.
I know nothing of this is new but that's my point! People are just fucking lazy is what it comes down to. I was the same way. I'd look at a synthesis and then see how hard it is to get red-p or aa and move on. I also just wanted methods that had the least amount of words in them like distilling, refluxing, decanting, extracting, ect. ect. I looked for that because being new I thought all that stuff is a big deal. Three years later I realize that simply turning the dail on a hotplate to make a reagent is a hell of a lot easier then going through the time, risk, and hassel of purchasing it. Even when I look at the synthesis for fentanyl I distinctly remember posting once that a guy should not try it because it is way too difficult yet now I wonder what the hell was I thinking and exactly what did I think was so hard? I think people are just lazy and want a two or three step shake and bake all with reagents you can Ebay. But it has just finally came to me that if you are willing to put in just a little bit of effort, make a reagent or two on your own, and not make chemical techniques out to be a big deal then there really isn't anything out there that is a big deal to make whether speed or nerve agents. Many of you already feel this way but it has now just hit me.
