    Synthesis of 4'-methylpropiophenone from toluene by Friedel-Crafts reaction (1kg+ scale)

    I'm pretty sure it has to be anhydrous aluminum chloride. No water, whatsoever. Issue is you can't dry aluminum chloride by heating it, iirc. Double check this though

    Scaling Up Transfer Hydrogenation?

    Question 
    Can someone tell me if one can scale up transfer hydrogenations, specifically for amphetamine production? I imagine it can be scaled up, as it is used in the petroleum industry, which is known for being large scale work, but I can't find any references for this.

    100% Cocaine Cut?

    Question 
    Just a theoretical, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who does have access to such, but if one had 100% cocaine, how much cut would bring it down to about street level? I'd say 50% for average stuff, maybe? 30% for incredible stuff?

    Short Acting Drugs More Profitable?

    Question 
    I understand. In the US, I dont think meth is that profitable unless one is supplying those who have the means to pay for high quality. Mephedrone might be good though, easy to produce, rivals cocaine, would have to be sold more cheaply though, like 40 a gram, maybe 60 but 40, at least for...

    Best Countries For Research Chemical Production/Sale?

    Question 
    I'm just wondering in what countries one would start an rc lab, to service the US and European Market. I feel like some of eastern Europe might be good, like poland. Netherlands or belgium might a good choice. Otherwise, china is good, perhaps another asian country?

    Piperonal Routes?

    I'm trying to see if there are other ways to get to mdp2p from piperonal. Obviously, there is nitroethane. It's hard to get, so not the best option. I don't think the route through MEK works on piperonal, never seen it claimed it does. Might be a decent option if so though. Then there us the...

    Synthesis of Calcium/Ferrous Phenylacetate.

    Question 
    I presume it is made by reacting a calcium base with phenylacetic acid? What about a iron base, like iron oxide? I would prefer the iron salts of phenylacetic acid, thus me asking.

    Dead Drops in USA - What City?

    Dead Drop 
    Imo, I think the key here is to designate what scale you are working with. Small to medium scale, maybe grams to ounces, could be easily done in both rural and urban areas. Both would have their pros and cons. For small amounts though people are less likely to want to drive say more than 20...

    Dead Drops in USA - What City?

    Dead Drop 
    Just my anecdotal experience, but I don't think dead drops would be easy to make catch on in America. One, it feels less secure for the customer. They are not used to it, so you'd really have to entice them, maybe with a small sample or discount for first time buyer, but people are very...

    Looking To See If Anyone Supplies This Yet?

    Looking for a vendor 
    My memory is a bit foggy, but I don't think piperonyl but oxide is a good source of piperonal, or anything really. I remember reading about it being done, and all I remember is that it is not worth it. I'll double check it though, because why not.

    Iodine and/or Phosphorous Recyclable?

    Question 
    When doing the classic reduction or ephedrine to meth, is the iodine or the source of phosphorous reusable? As in, can I isolate and extract the hydroiodic acid or whatever phosphorous source I used?

    Short Acting Drugs More Profitable?

    Question 
    I am wondering if anyone has any input on the profitability of short acting drugs vs long acting. Best example is cocaine vs meth. Short acting drugs have to be used more often, and are more convenient, but also seem a bit more expensive, at least for cocaine. Long acting drugs like meth...

    Renting Commercial Property?

    Question 
    I'm wondering how might one rent commercially zoned property in order to order things or whatever is needed. This is US centric. I assume one would need a business license, etc. Would really like advice on how to get all of the associated supplies and papers needed as anonymously as possible...

    Containers Used By Cartels?

    Question 
    I'm wondering what the containers used to synthesize p2p and amphetamines are called? The Mexican cartels have recently lost a jungle lab, and if you google it you'll see the metal containers used, with lots of clamps to hold down the lid. I'm wondering what those containers and the tubes...

    cocaine analog(s?) from arecoline

    Not a chemist. This might be good for home chemist use, for making a stimulant that is possibly Uncontrolled and while needing grignard conditions, and grignard reagents, could be a viable way to get some stimulants. Large scale, I don't think so. Large scale grignards probably need a real...
