alphachloromethamphetamine does mean a cl in the alpha propene - what else would it mean? i was just curious
chloroephedrine is silly - it's not eped anymore if the OH is gone.
how about this one: alpha-amino methamphetamine? hmmmm
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION US patent 5,675,038
The invention is directed to a process for reducing or reductively cleaving an organic compound susceptible to dissolving metal reduction comprising exposing the organic compound to lithium in a mixed solution of a polyamine including at least two amino groups, selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups and mixtures thereof, wherein said polyamine comprises from 2 to 4, e.g. 2, nitrogen atoms and from 2 to about 30, e.g. from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, and may be selected from the group consisting of alkyl and cycloalkyl amines such as ethylenediamine, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, piperazine, diaminopropane, diaminobutane, dimethyl diaminobutane, tris-(aminoethyl) amine, etc., e.g ethylenediamine, and R--NH.sub.2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl radicals, having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably ethyl, propyl, and butyl, including all straight and branched chain isomers thereof, optionally containing a lower alkyl alcohol, for a time sufficient to effect reduction.
thus piperazine, from cattle wormer, freebased and dried, plus anhydrous IPA (HEAT from automotive stores) should work. dry the piperazine with CaO - lime. just a thought
this is SO easy to try.
no answer to #7 - i think R-OH + NaN3 + NaOH -> R-N3 + 2NaOH, but still looking for proof
