LSD. The new way it's synthesized. 90% yields

written by a busted LSD cook

 

Sure it is. You only need to know how to dry chemicals, how to work exactly, how to keep everything under an argon atmosphere, How you work with high vacuum and how to use a rotary evaporator or chromatoghraphy. PyBOP is easy to order on the internet. (Well I guess you need to know something about labwork and shady business to order chemicals and stuff)

But I just provide the info. I'm not a cook. I haven't done it myself. Sooooo....... Start cooking people (and do it safely)

 

Nice analogy

 

I have set myself on a quest to build a rotary evaporator.

 

what would you have to major in to learn how to make lsd? organic chem? regular chemistry?

 

I am sure anyone can do extensive research on the internet to learn all the lingo that chemists use for formulating substances. To me is sounds quite simple. The only thing i am baffled about is getting the chemicals used without some sort of tracking on it. You just cant go out and buy them at your local grocery store for sure. And as for the steps used above, I am quite positive there are steps missing and mispellings. All i got to say is that you can blow yourself up if you are not careful.

 

Oh, and using an argon atmosphere? good luck on that one. I have looked all over to get an idea of what one is. That where lab coats and labs come into play. That i do not have access to.

 

All the world needs is a handful of people making LSD in large quantities.

 

^^^amen Brother^^^

 

chemistry is not just reading directions you have to really know what u are doing. its like saying you can make a badass meal that a chef prepared just by reading his directions or playing the piano just by reading the directions even though you've never done it before.

 

Hands on experience is something i do not have. I would not personally attempt something of this nature. If i were to, then i would make it a point to have Chemistry background.

 

A nitrogen atmosphere would suffice. If you cant do that, you cant boil water.

 

Chromatography? What are you bringing that up for?

What purpose would any sort of chromatography serve in a synthesis like this?

 

What? The only nitrogen atmosphere that's as easy to make as boiling water is the one I'm living in right now.

I think the point is no water (even vapor) can touch the lysergamide at that point.

 

Uh... the atmosphere you breathe contains oxygen as well as nitrogen.. oxygen = bad sometimes

Oxygen, even in the small amounts in our atmosphere can hinder a reaction.. think grignard.. an "inert" atmosphere could be created with 100% nitrogen gas.. this could be used inplace of the argon atmosphere that was talked about earlier..

I brought up nitrogen because its easier to get .


edit - misread... Its incredibly easy to pump nitrogen gas into a reaction vessel until all the oxygen has been flushed out.. nitrogen is used to fill up car tires at most tire shops. Just overfill the volume of the container slightly (if you cant figure out how to release a tank of gas ..... ) to make sure there is absolutely no oxygen left.

Its not hard at all.
