Glucose extraction

[pooky]

P is not sure if this is the proper forum,but here goes. To make a long story short,is there any way to rid perfectly pure MDMA of glucose?A trusted and now ex "friend" of P's did this,trying to steal and hoping P would not notice, and P is furious beyond all words.P is also furious at himself for trusting someone,but at least this lesson was an easy and gentle one,and the friend does not know who made it ;)P was hoping glucose would be soluble in toluene,acetone,or DCM.TFSE doesn't help,and nothing on the web either.Thanks....

Well, you won't have to run a column or anything, but nothing short of an A/B will work.

Glucose and MDMA.HCl have similar physical properties. IIRC, both are insoluble in highly non-polars (hexane, toluene, xylene, etc), soluble in moderate non-polars (EtOAc, DCM), quite soluble in alcohols, extremely soluble in water.

That's what P had in mind, P was just hoping there was a shortcut.Cheers!
