One question, when the 2 layers seperate the oil looks very nice and clean.
Is the bicarb wash that really necessary? Can't the oil be used as such and impurities washed away when doing crystallization at the end?
UPDATE:
Tried it again at same ratios provided in original recipe for 333 grams pmk powder.
All ingredients were scaled down.
Upon adding the HCL to the reflux, waited another half an hour, measures ph, it was slightly above 2.
Added more hcl until ph was at 2.
Ended reflux, clear separation...
Ok so I will try it again.
But I followed the exact procedure you wrote.
The dcm with oil in it has that smell that mdma usually has.
I also find it strange that the dcm goes to the top
that I don't know anymore, I did that workup last night and neutralized the acid.
What is the ph supposed to be?
I mixed the reaction with a bicarb solution then seperated it with dcm. That seems to work, dcm with oil goes to the top for some reason.
Yeah sorry, Naoh.
I added the exact amount of hcl as written in the procedure.
Once you add the hcl is start boiling and fuming and when you reach the hcl saturation levels the reaction just settles and changes color to yellowish.
Added h20 with distilled water, while it was warming up melted the powder then added it.
Refluxed for an hour, then added hcl and refluxed for another hour.
Stopped reaction, waited for it to cool and seperate.
No separation occurred.
I thought the original process was from powder form. So it was originally from the oil pmk version that you started not the wax powder? (I tried from the wax powder and once cooled down to room temperature the material does not seperate into 2 layers)
After separating the mdma freebase with ether is it possible to treat the ether with magnesium sulfate do dry it then freeze it for a day and afterwards to add 37% hcl until ph reaches 5(or even sulfuric acid) instead of evaporation the ether and putting the freebase in anhydrous acetone?
Yeah but that's not the tussi they referring to. They take a bunch of mdma with other cuts dye it pink and tell people it's 2cb. If you give them real 2cb they don't know what to do with it lol
