The dreamer started with approxamately 12.5g freebase psudo extracted from several boxes of 96ct red hots. (soaked in tolune a few days, discarded then boiled in tolune, dryed, waterless a/b into tolune then evaporated)
This was casually tossed into a 250ml boiling flask along with 7g fresh lab grade RP. Then 3 mls of DH20, and 5mls of GAA was added and mixed throughly. Condensor was then attached and cold water was started. 2g of lab grade resublimed I2 was added thru the top of the condensor.
No visible signs, so the temp was brought up to approx 115F when it started. flask filled with swirling white smoke and reacted for a few minutes. Another 2 g of I2 was added and similar reaction took place. This continued until a total of 18G of I2 was reacted. (Took about 20 minutes total) A 1-holed stopper was then added to the top of the condenser with some aquarium tubing going out the window.
The temp was taken up slowly, due to violent bubbeling and swelling up to 5 times the original mass of starting material. About 45 minutes later, the temp was stabelized at 200F for approxamately an hour. The reaction appeared over, but I wasn't buying it that quick. The temp was then gradually brought up to 300F and was reacting and refluxing beautifully. This was then left for 1 1/2 hours. Upon returning, the dreamer noticed the mixture had turned much darker and was refluxing 3/4 the way up the condensor. Just then he also noticed the teflon on the pan holding the oil appeared to be shedding and exploding in the oil, and it was scaring the shit out of him.
(Damb, that was the only pan the bitch left me)
Dh20 was then added thru the aquarium tubing to wash any escaped goodies back into the flask. when the h20 hit the flask, a small reaction of foam and bubbles was noted. water was added till it looked like a 2 to 1 ratio of water to reaction mixture. a little heat and mixing then filtered the RP, rinsed the flask and the filtercake with tolune. an equil amount of tolly was added, then shook violently and poured into a sep funnel. It was left for 20 minutes, then the tolly was discarded. 2 more of the same tolly washes later, several grams of lye was added to the mixture. (I couldn't believe the amount I had to add to get the test strip over 10) It was then shaken with an equil amount of tolly and left for 20 minutes to seperate. Moved the tolly to another sep funnel and added another equil amount for a second pull. Thru a couple more grams of lye in there for luck and seaparated as before. The 2 tolly pulls were then shaken with a clean DH20 wash that came out looking real clean. More dh20 was added with approxamately 2mls Muriatic acid, shaken, seperated and deposited in a pyrex plate in the toaster oven at 200F
About 5 Grams of beautiful white crystals was scraped from the plate after evaporation. Another pull on the tolly netted another 2 grams. and the 3rd pull is gonna sit for a couple days before yield is known.
Bioassay is the best shit this boy has hit in 2 years. (same amount of time his glassware and apron was in cold storage)
Yee-Fucken-Haw (Damb, the suns coming up quick)
