Hello,

After many tests using Methylamine HCL based on this method I will share the best way that I found to obtain Methamphetamine freebase in big scale:

  • 966 gr P2P​
  • 14 liters Methanol
  • 1183 gr Methylamine HCL​
  • 638gr NaOH​
  • 452 gr Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate​
  • 105 gr NaBH4​
  • 35 L distilled water​
  • 7 Liters DCM​

- Fill the reactor with the 14 L of Methanol
- With stirring dissolve the Methylamine HCL
- Put the reactor temp at 0C(not the mixture temp) and add the NaOH, the temp will increase
- Once the temp come back to 20C add the P2P, the temp will increase stir it during 45min-1 hour
- Add 252gr of anhydrous sodium sulfate
- When the mixture temp arrives to 8C start adding portionwise the NaBH4 not exceeding the 20C
- Once all the NaBH4 has been added let it mixing under 20C during aprox 2 hours until the mixture stops bubbling
- Add the water and continue mixing during 5 min
- Add the DCM and mix it during 10 min
- Stop stirring and let layers get separated
- Keep the bottom layer and discard the upper one( not profitable to extract this aqueous phase)
- Add 200gr of anhydrous sodium sulfate to the saved layer and mix it
- Filter it in Buchner Funnel
- Evaporate the DCM
- Clean and smelly Methamphetamine freebase obtained

;-)

Methanol and methylamine hcl dissolved. NaOH was added and it clumped up sticky. Temperature up to 28. Dropped to 24.5 and holding. What seems to be wrong?

Are you sure that you added NaOH?

Hello,

Something must be wrong with your products for sure and temp with NaOH addition grows up to 50C more or less.

I’m pretty sure is NaOH. The only difference was I used ethanol instead of methanol.

How long should it take to rise and drop back down to 20c?

and after adding P2P oil, how long should it take to rise and fall back to 8C? I haven’t seen anything drop under 20c…..

Methylamine HCL Solubility (g/100 g of solvent):​

acetone: insoluble
chloroform: insoluble
diethyl ether: insoluble
ethanol: 29.1 (78°C)
ethyl acetate: insoluble
water: very soluble

As you can see is not as simple as "the only difference" in ethanol as a low solubility and it's in hot when this process is not in hot.

"How long should it take to rise and drop back down to 20c?
and after adding P2P oil, how long should it take to rise and fall back to 8C? I haven’t seen anything drop under 20c….."

I guess that you are expecting that the temp goes to 8C without a cooling source?
Will fall back to 20 or 8 or -10 depending of your cooling system.

makes sense. Thank you. So does this mean I can not use ethanol, or rather, I need to heat to 78c to dissolve methylamine and then add NaOH once dropped back to 20c?

It won't work as you said. MeNH2*HCl will precipitate in case of over-saturated solution. You can try to dissolve it and heat just for an experiment.

I think MeNH2*HCl can react like a slurry. Why not? NaOH dissolves in EtOH and a solid-liquid reaction occurs.

Is there a substitute for methanol?

Could be of course I never tried with EtOH due low MeNH2*HCl solubility and the temp required to solve.
But If with MeOH don't happens possibly with EtOH neither at least seems that at the level of chemical structure but you know sometimes the chemical logic...;-)

Sir temperature set on 0’c. Means my coolant circulation pump all the way set on 0’c right?

10% Methylamine in Methanol (w/w) - 1000 ml with 100 g MeNH2 (~3 moles

to make this from methylamine hcl, I was instructed with this procedure ? Is it correct? Thanks!

add equivalent of NaOH and methylamine hcl
Extract with dcm
Remove dcm
Dissolve in h20 by ratio

MeNH2 is gas at normal conditions

Sorry my questions seems dumb. Im very confused here
Precursors drying.
First quickly crunch your pre-dried (oven, 300 °C, 3 hrs.) dry MgSO4 to pop corn shaped rocks in a mortar, sieve the powder out, and directly put the rocks under max. mixing in the Methanol/Methylamine mix (1000 ml) and close the pot to let no water from the air in. Keep mixing for 10 minutes

the methanol/methylamine mixed to MgSO4 is a gas??

I guess I’m not writing my questions properly. I’ll try again. Thanks

we’re mixing the methanol/methylamine with MgSO4 to dry traces of water. This methanol/methylamine is a solvent or a gas? How do I make this with methylamine hcl cause that’s what I have.

It is solution methylamine in methanol. Methanol is liquid.

Read about it and you will know
Do you expect to just get spoon fed. How you think everybody else knows, read off the site, stop spamming threads with nonsense
