Lately, I have not been able to get this reaction. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Before that, I had better results. I always make only a lot of 10 grams, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, maybe someone can help. I have the ratio of substances as in the video, I use a half-liter flask with 3 holes - thermometer, cooler and hole where I put it. I use magnetic stirring. I think that's enough for that amount. In the first phase, my temperature is around 40-50 degrees, every time it starts to drop, I make a match. I tried 2 but also 4 hours with the same result. In the second phase, when I add a small amount, my temperature does not rise, as a result I have maybe half a gram. Before that, I used to have 5-6 grams. After adding H3PO4 drops, the whole thing thickened, now only a little bit is formed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Hi. Did you ad CuCl2 and reach this temperature?

The color of CuCl2 is the same as in the video, and I only added a few drops of acid, but there was a lot of ice. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, everything looks good, the temperature has also risen after adding CuCl2, you need to have a higher temperature than I had. A-oil looks good, but I can't get amphetamine... and I'm gradually lowering the pH to 5.

Hello @GhostChemist

I have 5g p2np batch,
I'm at step 8,
8. The IPA from step 7 extract is evaporated on vacuum to an amphetamine free base oil and combined with free base from step 6.

I add 80ml of ipa to wash it.
I locked vacuum at 600mmHg, 800 millibars, I have gauge on vacuum pump inlet.
My distillation setup is 3 necked flask, vertical alihn reflux condesner as fraction column, horizontal grahm condeser as cooling. I can confirm by flame I get IPA.

I get liquid with milky aqueous layer and yellow top which isn't possible to lower PH with H2SO4. I think I over distill it.
1. IPA evaporates at 69°, it goes for 8h and doesn't stop, what may be indicator when it is done?

2. What would happen if I don't wash aqueous layer with IPA and just proceed with dropwise addition of H2SO4?

General procedure for this synthesis is separate IPA with amine and distilled off the IPA for concentation of amine
