http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/chem_prog/advisories/surveillance.htm

The following is the Special Surveillance List for laboratory supplies used in the manufacture of controlled substances and listed chemicals:

Special Surveillance List Published Pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 842(a)(11)

Chemicals

All listed chemicals as specified in 21 CFR 1310.02 (a) or (b). This includes all chemical mixtures and all over-the-counter (OTC) products and dietary supplements which contain a listed chemical, regardless of their dosage form or packaging and regardless of whether the chemical mixture, drug product or dietary supplement is exempt from regulatory controls.

    * Ammonia Gas
    * Ammonium Formate
    * Bromobenzene
    * 1,1-Carbonyldiimidazole
    * Cyclohexanone
    * 1,1-Dichloro-1-fluoroethane (e.g. Freon 141B)
    * Diethylamine and its salts
    * 2,5-Dimethoxyphenethylamine and its salts
    * Formamide
    * Formic Acid
    * Hypophosphorous Acid
    * Lithium Metal
    * Lithium Aluminum Hydride
    * Magnesium Metal (Turnings)
    * Mercuric Chloride
    * N-Methylformamide
    * Organomagnesium Halides (Grignard Reagents) (e.g. ethylmagnesium bromide and phenylmagnesium bromide)
    * Phenylethanolamine and its salts
    * Phosphorus Pentachloride
    * Potassium Dichromate
    * Pyridine and its salts
    * Red Phosphorus
    * Sodium Dichromate
    * Sodium Metal
    * Thionyl Chloride
    * ortho-Toluidine
    * Trichloromonofluoromethane (e.g. Freon-11, Carrene-2)
    * Trichlorotrifluoroethane (e.g. Freon 113)

Equipment

    * Hydrogenators
    * Tableting Machines
    * Encapsulating Machines
    * 22 Liter Heating Mantels

Individuals and firms which distribute listed chemicals and chemicals, products, materials, or equipment on the above list, are hereby officially notified that these materials may be used in the illicit production of certain controlled substances or listed chemicals.

[...]

This surveillance list may be revised as appropriate. Notice of proposed changes will be published as they occur. While publication in the Federal Register satisfies the notification requirements for the Special Surveillance List, DEA is attempting to disseminate the list as widely as possible. Therefore, copies of the list will be sent to appropriate industry associations and trade journals, and to the extent practical, to individual manufacturers and distributors of "laboratory supplies."' In addition, a current surveillance list will be available on the DEA homepage at http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/.

Small Business Impact and Regulatory Flexibility Concerns

The Special Surveillance List applies to all individuals and firms which distribute the listed chemicals and laboratory supplies (chemicals, products, materials, or equipment) on the list. The notice does not impose any record-keeping or reporting requirements for any of the laboratory supplies which are not listed chemicals. Thus the surveillance list will have a negligible impact on affected parties. The notice serves two purposes. First, it informs individuals and firms of the potential use of the items on the list for the production of listed chemicals and illicit drugs.

Interesting. I haven't seen this precursor list before.

I find the magnesium metal bullshit.

I also think the 2C-H is ridiculous.  Anyone with a brain inside their skull knows better not to start with the amine. What a bunch of idiots. I guess they're only on here to restrict the folks that are straight "recipe" cooks.

I'm surprised GABA isn't on here since GBL is list 1. It'd make sense.

Maybe they should include baking soda. They have nothing better to do.

The mercuric chloride kinda saddens me. :-\ ...last time I checked it's not hard at all to source. Then again I never buy more than 10g at a time. It's unnecessary. Besides, all that poison in one area kind of freaks me out.  :o

Thankfully, a lot on the list can be prepared OTC.

Mercuric salts, including HgCl2, can be prepared easily from only a little bit of elemental Hg because of it's high density. Also since the reaction is inorganic it's fast and yields are >90%.

Annie can be made from OTC if you've got the rig for it. It's *possibile* in theory(i've also seen some writeups for it) that you can distil AmOH with acetone/dry ice as the condenser pool. I've never attempted it though.

The rest are kind of hard-really hard with the exception of a few that are obvious.

Oh all right, I think decomposing dry urea would be a good method of making anhydrous NH3.

It's ironic you'd say that. I was just thinking of the same thing. I was talking to a chemist who got busted recently...said the popo took a bucket of his urine to make NH3.

How exactly would you decompose urea? Simply just heat it to its BP and collect the NH3?

Yep just heat it and collect the gas that comes off. What is left behind is cyanuric acid, and other chemicals related to that and urea, such as melamine.

NaOH + Urea or any ammonium compound would also produce ammonia obviously, but it would need to be dried. Any ideas as how one might do that? I guess anhydrous MgSO4 would work.

Yes, MgSO4 works, and NaOH/KOH.  Just don't use CaCl2, since I believe it forms some stupid ass complex.  Not to get off topic thought

Very interesting list, I might have to snatch some of those that are not on list 1 before they make the transition.  Obviously acetone wont be a problem, but some of the more interesting would be a good investment, perhaps.

I have a document on making a solar powered freezing, and it uses CaCl2, and NH3 gas. the NH3 gas forms a complex with the CaCl2 at night, and is then heated by the sun causing the complex to decompose into Ammonia again.
If it is hard to make anhydrous liquid ammonia, perhaps it is worth making this complex and then heating it. eh.. I guess it is a stupid idea. Seems like there are many other easier ways to make liquid ammonia. This would be really dry though I bet, since the dehydration temperature of calcium chloride is decently high. If there is another use for calcium chloride and ammonia it may be to absorb noxious ammonia gases that are fuming from a reaction. I don't know how effective that would be though. Its cheap, and you wouldn't have to worry about suck-back as you do with water and other gas absorbing substances.

Interesting PDF, did those chemicals only apply for terrorism, or also drugs? I didn't see drugs, but it seems like a decent amount of those would be more useful for drugs then terrorism.

Yes, that list is dedicated toward terrorism (mostly explosives and chemical weapons, I assume). Some chemicals could also be used in drug synthesis and extraction, but the primary concern of Homeland Security is terrorism. It should be noted that the interest in any chemical with a nonzero reporting threshold probably won't effect its acquisition process by a hobbiest, due to the small purchase size.

Yeah the fucking list. Where my friend, so he told me, looks out his window, there are 3 lists, the 1st requires an account, the second requres an end user dec, the third requires a destributor that is a human fucking being who should tell you that ALL orders by them get sent a copy to the DEA. They cover their a$$es, which as a business person perhaps is undestandable and fine, but what isn't understandable is the possibility that they avoid telling you this, and perhaps you only find out when they fuck up an order, or so ive heard.
Perhaps your view is differnent to my friends, Perhaps not.

Hydrochloric acid is probably the stupidest one listed. I mean wtf are they going to do, ban swimming pools???  They should just take it off the list out of sheer pointlessness. At the pace they are at twenty years from now the list will look like this:

*all swimming pool supplies
*all cleaning supplies
*all soap making supplies
*all proteins
*all fragrances
*all essential oils
*drain cleaner
*fertilizer
*starting fluid

So in the future we will all smell like shit because soap will be outlawed and we won't be able to camouflage our stench with fragrances, which won't matter anyways since you won't be able to go to the store to get soap because your fucking car won't start from not having starting fluid. So the only thing you'll be able to do is hang around your house all day which would be cool if your swimming pool wasn't a fucking green pool of algae and your lawn didn't look like shit from not being able to fertilize it. In the end everyone will be stuck inside their homes, smelling their own stench and that of their backed up toilet overflowing with shit absent of drain cleaner and cleaning supplies, all the while wishing that their scrawny ass arms could benefit from some protein. Thank you very much fucking DEA.

How about this to get ammonia: Put ammonium nitrate (good ammount in cold packs) and sodium carbonate into water solution, evaporate the water to get sodium nitrate and ammonium carbonate.

Ammonium carbonate decomposes into carbon dioxide and ammonia gas with only mild heat (at like 60 degrees celsius)...

Because the ammonia, water, and carbon dioxide will recombine. Just like ammonium chloride does when it is decomposed.

even if they're weren't water you wouldn't be able to separate the ammonia from the carbon dioxide.

Urea pyrolysis is probably the best, followed by reacting a  hydroxide with something like ammonium sulfate, chloride, nitrate, etc.

Its not that hard.
Getting it totally dry might be, however.
