Aminating 40g Ketone in a 1-liter RBF with preloaded methanole! (thanx to abacus)

1.1 Mix in dropping funnel:

13 ml water
46 ml Nitromethan 99% purity

1.2 Put this into a 1-liter rbf:

40.5 g  nuggetized Alufoil
375 ml Methanole
0.2 g HgCl2
let amalgamate, then slowly drip in above mixture and let proceed as usual. Add 100ml 25% NaOH to finish the reaction. Then distill off the methanole and keep it. You now have methanole which is preloaded with methylamine.

2.1 Use above methanole for aminating MDP2P:

Mix in dropping funnel:
8ml water
40g MDP2P

Put this into a clean 1-liter rbf:

10g nuggetized Alufoil
the distilled preloaded methanole + 25ml clean methanole
0.1 g HgCl2
let amalgamate, then slowly drip in above mix.
Let reaction proceed until finished.

Distill of methanole, until two layers form (water and brownish oil). Keep the oil, weight should be around 38g.
Add 100ml 25% NaOH to basify.
 
2.2. Acid/Base extraction:
Extract with 250ml 10% HCl solution followed by another 50ml HCl.
Wash with clean NP.
Slowly basify it until PH >11. Freebase fall out to bottom of beaker, keep it. You can now extract with NP and gas from here or continue the full labcycle to obtain very pure MDMA.

Extract MDMA with 100ml DCM washes and combine.
Distill of DCM, water, and vacuum distill the freebase (loss <3%). Dissolve in 4 times the volume of acetone and gas.

I wrote this, because i just own a 1l rbf and some bees wrote that it is not possible to do this.
Believe me, it works and it saves a lot of time.  :)
