Hello again!
Yes!! Phe = l-phenylalanine
I would very much like to share my experiments with you but my technical English is very bad and it would take me 2 years to write.
Yes. I followed Chem_guys instruction/recipi very precisely. (my teacher and I sad down for 2 hours and translated the wise words (no affence, I think its great what you guys are doing). I used 3 batches, but I had a collaps of some glasware in the first experiment so only 2 went through. The final result did crystalize but there was no amph. present
I might have fucked something up (i don´t think so, but….)
So don´t you feel guilty Chem_guy!, Im´n just an unexperienced student
KrZ did you write the article: Dextroamphetamine from catalytic hydrogenation of l-phenylalanine???
In that experiment you place 500g Phe, 1000ml EtOH, 500ml GAA, 50g Pt/C. in the hydrogenator and ”prereduced” it for 2 hours. Catalysing for 22 hours and so one--- You end up extracting with 4*200ml of DCM. What is DCM?? Later one you disolve the base in IPA . What is IPA??
Well i did something very like this!! (in 10g scale) I used 3 batches for this experiment and ended up with no amph. in all 3, here i ”varied” the hydrogenation time 20 - 30 - 48 hours (5 - 6 - 7 ATM)
The reason why i failed might depend one I used the wrong chemical to extract with and disolve in (DCM, IPA)!!!!! Or maybe it can´t be done this way.!!
KrZ!! what do you mean by multistep, can you specify that a little more!!
I was only allowed to buy 100g of Phe >>its illegal in DK<< Fuck!!!!! I decided to run 10g batches
I have got 20g Phe left and i HAVE to succeed WHAT am i going to do, PLEASE give me a hint. I hate starting something i can´t finish!!!
Bye the way, in the main menu under Natural amphetamine precursors look under l-Phenylalanine, WHY the f… does it say SWIM KNOWS SWIM KNOWS!!! What is it SWIM knows?
That it can´t be done or there is a VERY easy way to do the synthetic so they have to hide it?
? I think it´s the last answer!!! It wouldn´t surprise me if you don´t have to use Catalyst or Electrolysis.
God cannot have mercy on the enviroment. BUT YOU CAN!!!
