I'm not saying it was a sodium salt, I know it wasn't a sodium salt the texture of the powder looked totally different consistency from BMK derivative 5449.
30g of sodium hydroxide and 70ml H2o.
There is a massive difference between guide and the coddle you expect from him. I think your the first chemist who has been in the game for a decade who can't work out how to make a sodium hydroxide 30% solution? So Bravo give yourself a pat on the back...
A decade ago we were using a BMK powder which you could make into a solution with Methanol and drip it straight into the al/hg without the need of hydrolysis or Purification... You could do the whole synthesis in 1 night? These new BMK Sodium salts your doing 2 days of prep work like WTF.
Anyone tried the new BMK Oil? cas 41232-97-7. A decade ago you could just get BMK powder make a solution with methanol 1:1 and drip it straight into the al/hg you would be done same day.. is hydrolysis required with all the new BMK derivatives? 5449 sodium salt sucks compared to the old school BMK.
The two are already separated and Methamphetamine HCI is crystallised but because of a this clowns idiotic mistake no one can smoke it as they dry-reach from the taste. Steam destill brought the taste over with it.
Methamphetamine was powderised then mixed with spent coffee beans for logistical purposes and a disobedient simpleton thought he could get it out and used hot water.
So I believe the alkaloids have leached into the desired amine. Causing an undesirable taste, steam distillation was attempted...
Iv always used Pure Nitromethane however in Uncle Festers book it says that one can use 10% Nitro fuel without problems that the Methanol doesn't cause problems in the RM.
