Looking for a way to make great chili, like this?

You must acquire the knowledge, the chemicals and the equipment.
New methods continually surface, ideally a method that uses commonly found products is needed



Part 1 Extracting ephedrine


A beginning - the test
Buying Ephedrine
Cleaning ephedrine
Acid Base extraction of Ephedrine

Part 2 Iodine & Phosphorous
Page 3 The Reaction



Iodine / Phosphorus / Ephedrine

A beginning

It takes effort, patience, persistence, and some money to acquire materials, to be successful.

Here is a method to assess what you already have, and what you need.
_0=yes 1=no
1)___ Have you had any formal chemistry training?
2)___ Is there someone who will show you the procedure hands on?
3)___ Do you now have access to red phosphorus or iodine?
4)___ Do you have any equipment, flasks, funnel, filters etc?
5)___ Do you have a few hundred dollars to buy chems & equip?
6)___ Do you have a partner to help in acquisition ?

Total _________________Add up your score.

This number indicates the months, it may take to acquire all the stuff.
As you may notice a chemistry background, or someone who has this knowledge is very important. I suggest you team up with someone, It gives you 2x the chance of finding a ways to make chemical purchases,

What do I want from you, I do demand a couple of things:
1) Attempt to make only the very best and cleanest product possible.
2) Observe the items marked *** required safety**
These few safety requirements, I do without fail, some have saved my ass repeatedly
They protect you and your neighbors from explosions, fires, and toxins, and arrest
They are designed to prevent from being busted

The place to begin is acquiring the needed supplies and skills
a) learn where to buy and how to purify ephedrine.( this phase )
b) learn where to buy the iodine and red phosphorus
c) gather up the glassware or make caveman equipment from common items
d) learn the reaction, and meth purification procedure


Buying Ephedrine

Sudafed
Pseudo ephedrine
Ephedrine
All are similar when using this method
Some have more or less milli grams mg/tablet
They are found everywhere
Each has a different type of fillers and ingredients
Avoid those with Acetaminophen and Guavisenofin
Some kinds of E are not found OTC, but are behind the counter, you have to ask for it. It comes in thin white tablets 60mg or more, 100 tabs or more to a bottle. At pharmacies, Indian smoke shops, HEAD SHOPS, convenience stores, super markets. vitamin stores. Walk into a head shop and ask for "ephedrine", they will take care of the rest. When asked, what kind? Simply reply "What is the most popular brand?" Get the brand that is currently sold most often.
Be prepared to spend about $2-$4 / gram - Meth sells for $60 /gram
One Cook I know loads up a pile of people in his van, drives them around to pick up pills, iodine, and RP. All in one day. There are restrictions on amount of E you may purchase a day, I don't know the exact amount,
but 4 bottles of 100 - 60 mg/tablet is about all you will be sold at a shift/store/day.
That is (4 x 100 x 60) 24,000 mg or 24 grams = $75

Cleaning ephedrine

Dissolve in various solvents and filter then dry ( what you need)
.. *1) common funnels - buy a set of various sizes plastic is usually OK
.. *2) cotton balls - a bunch of them - one or two are put in the neck of the funnel
.. *3) coffee filters - 4 are stacked together in the funnel
.. *4) Denatured alcohol - hardware gallon
.. *4) Methanol - gas line drying agent Heet(yellow bottle),Dry Gas (blue), brake drying agent for diesels.
.. *5) Acetone - Hardware or beauty supply gallon
.. *6) Distilled water several gallons
.. . 7) Visionware cook ware by Corning found a whole set for $19 wal-mart sale
.. *8) Carafe or flasks -glass bottles
.. *9) heat source - like a hot plate or warming tray
.. 10) Small fan- Clip-on anywhere type or whatever you have
(*) are items that are a must
Evaporating is safest with Corning Visionware, Visionware will not break when heated or chilled. Corning also makes Pyrex . not all pyrex is heat resistant . If you are not using Visionware you have a 90% chance that a bowl will shatter under the heat(very dangerous)
To evaporate volatile rapidly use a fan to blow air around flammable fuels to disperse the fumes and prevent fire.

Here it is Safety requirement #1
***Keep a wet towel handy, to toss over and smother any flames.
***

Briefly how it goes,

(more details are next)
1. First powder the pills, use a blender keep them dry do not use water.
____using red coated pills, begin by soaking in acetone to see if the color coating comes off. ____ If not then place the pills in a colander with a little crushed ice, swirl to remove red.
2. Acetone
Red coated pills begin by soaking in acetone to see if the color coating comes off. If not then place the pills in a colander with a little crushed ice, swirl to remove red.
____ soak the powder in warm Acetone for 10 minutes,
____ filter (save solids)
____ discard the liquid solution
3. Methanol or Denatured Alcohol
____soak the powder from the acetone in methanol or denatured for 40 minutes
____filter, save the filtrate(liquid),
___ evaporate the filtrate until completely dry
4. Distilled water,
____dissolve the methanol or denatured evaporate in water
____filter cold( put distilled water ice cubes in the filter),
____evaporate the liquid filtrate until completely dry.
Be very careful when getting to the end of drying cycle, you do not want the ephedrine to over heat at all and burn to a dark brown. if a little HCl acid is added to the water it will help prevent the ephedrine from evaporating away with the water

Explanation


The ephedrine is washed and filtered with acetone to remove red dye, and microcrystaline cellulose, ephedrine is insoluble in acetone so save the solids, discard the filtered acetone. In the acetone wash fluid you may see little fibers in the wash, soon they look spider like, eventually becoming a slime
Next the "dry" solids are soaked again this time in Methanol or denatured alcohol, Filter, discard the stuff in the filter. Ephedrine is soluble in methanol, so evaporate the methanol/ephedrine solution(save this). be sure to evaporate until "dry".
****Caution when evaporating volatile, use the fan to blow vapors away from heat source
The "dry" remains from the evaporated Methanol or denatured is dissolved in distilled water, chill the water/ephedrine solution, then cold filter with ice cubes(distilled) in the filter, Discard the waxy solids in the filter. Ephedrine is water soluble, so evaporate the water add a little HCl first . What is left after evaporating the water is almost pure crystal E.
The reason each step must be "completely dried" before proceeding, is not always obvious. Un-evaporated solvent, will ruin the selectivity of the next solvent.
Let mixtures settle, decant(pour off) only the supernatant(top liquid) into the filter, leaving the solids in the container, otherwise you will plug the filter with sediments, or cause a clouding in a filtered solution.

If a solution is cloudy after filtering,it must be refiltered, clean the funnel, add one more new cotton ball, compress the cotton balls together harder, use new filters , Re-filter until solution is perfectly clear.
Cloudy solutions are not cleanly filtered.
Colors in a solution are OK and often will not filter out.
If unsure at any step about where exactly the ephedrine is? do a taste test bitterness is ephedrine, not bitter is not ephedrine
There that was fairly easy

Calculate the percentage you recovered. if you had 4 bottles of 100 tablets , 60mg
4 x 100 x 60 =24000mg or 24 grams
if you recovered 20 grams of Ephedrine
then 20 / 24 x 100% = 83%

70% is not very good
90% is super
110% and you collected a bunch of trash along with the Ephedrine
