I was given this recipe by a friend chemist, telling me SnB is dangerous, and this should be safer.
There are a few things in there I find very interesting, others I am very puzzled of.
Why most people says to only use Ammonium Nitrate, but he is against it ?
First, it assumes you have done the PSE extractions from your pills. I can't comment whether it will work from crushed pills.
And I can't directly share the extraction methods, since it depends on specific pills ingredients and filling.
=======
I'm still against the SnB as it scientifically requires pressure-proof equipments but as you insist I'll at least guide you through a lower risk procedure.
1.choosing the right flask for the reaction, what i recommend is an old fire extinguisher
but make sure it completely seals off (preferably with a control valve that opens and closes on demand).
2.Dont use ammonium nitrate because it has a higher tendency to explode. instead use Ammonium Sulfate or Ammonium chloride as a safe ammonia source.
3.The Base would be Sodium hydroxide of course. always use a saturated solution to minimize the amount of water used in the reaction as it consumes lithium quickly and generates heat.
4.Add non-polar solvent to ammonia salt (insoluble)
5.then Add sodium hydroxide solution gradually (not all at once) as it generates heat quickly.
6.The reaction releases Ammonia Gas, Sodium Sulfate as a by-product.
7.keep the reaction flask in an Ice Bath the whole time. it's very helpful to reduce the pressure needed to liquify ammonia.
****Slowly open the valve every 2 or 3 minutes to decrease the pressure.
****this process will require about 20-30 minutes to liquify ammonia.
Now for SnB :
1.Dump in all pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylpropanamine or other substituted beta-hydroxyphenethylamines .
Note : you can use the non-polar layer from extraction Tek but the resulting product will be less pure.
2.Get lithium Metal Strip (Always Keep It Saved In Non-Polar Solvent to prevent oxidation and fire
). cut it with scissors to about 2x2cm size and slowly add 2-3 pieces of lithium to the reaction flask every 5-8 minutes. shake the flask gently after adding pieces of lithium to get the amine (non-polar layer) in contact with free lithium ions (in liquid gas aqueous layer)
Note : Open the Valve to depressurize the container before opening the seal. this is extremely important to keep you safe.
Always Seal the container again after adding pieces of metal.
3.This Process will take about 40-120 Minutes .
4.After that. depressurize the container and move everything to a beaker, quickly get un-reacted lithium out of the solution and put it non-polar solvent to prevent fire.
5.the solution will have brown color (indicates reacted lithium). dispose of aqueous layer (contains ammonia) and keep the non-polar layer (contains the product free base).
6.Wash the Fuel layer with water 3 times to get rid of suspended ammonia (necessary step. if you skip this step the end product will have Ammonium chloride mixed with it)
7.use H2SO4 And table salt to bubble HCL Gas into the fuel layer.
8.Resulting salt is insoluble and will immediately precipitate.
9.wash the product with freezing cold acetone.
Last and very important Note : it's important to use the salt form (pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) in this reaction.
if you decided to use a freebase in fuel form you'll have to use ammonium chloride as a source of ammonia.
Be careful with the whole thing. I'm still against it but if you're willing to do it you're gonna do it. I'm only helping you reduce the risk when working with chemicals.
## Measurements
these measurements are enough to reduce 3000mg of pseudo.
1. add 36g of sodium hydroxide to 75ml of water and make sure everything dissolves and solution returns to room temperature
.
2. For Ammonium chloride 53g is needed. for ammonium sulfate 66g is needed (both gives the same amount of ammonia gas)
3. For Fuel, 50ml is more than enough.
4. if additional gas is needed (container is too big to pressurize), a mixture of 2.5g NaOH (solid form) + 4g ammonia salt is added directly to the reaction without adding water. this ratio 2.5/4 can be added repeatedly every 3 minutes with gentle mixing until enough liquid is collected (can be repeated up to 35 times)
5. lithium: one strip from CR123A Battery is more than enough for 3,000mg
