Synthesis of Heroin from opium raw

[Midget_Impinger]

I wish I could get my hands on raw opium (or even morphine) to try this :-(

@Midget_Impinger @therealboomshankar has joined BreakingBad - maybe he could arrange some for you at a good first time offer?

I know some peoples with high quantity of raw spanish opium, it will be way cheaper than what you can find on usual markets, (around 10€ per gram or even cheaper). Let me know if you're interested. I would just be an intermediate, I have a little bit of this opium if you want to check what it's like.

 

[Dr.Mirakulix]

Hello, I'm very interested in the opium too. Could you pm me about it too, please? I d be very thankful!

The 65g of morphine base is extremely crude at this stage. They're not losing 35g of product.

 

[Plinius]

Most of Papaver somniferum are know to content near 10% (or more in specialized fields) of morphine in dry opium.
Thus, even 65g is 6.5% which is awful, moreover the 3% of final hydrochloride is almost criminal haha !

 

[41Dxflatline]

It's probably 20% detritus too and they never use dried.

Victory ladies and men !
I made 160mg of Heroin from 173mg of Morphine free base, extracted from 300mg of Morphine sulfate pills expired in 2008 (yes, probably made in 2006, consequently stored during 17 years at ambient temperature (near 20°C).

I made my own anhydride acetic from Na-Acetate+S2Cl2 and used 1 gram with my 173mg of morphine free base, in 10mL glass flask, at 85°C regulated under constant magnetic agitation during 2H20minutes.
Basification with 10% NaOH solution, extraction with ether, evaporation in glass petri dishes at 45°C (see picture) weighed (160mg, good yield), covered with distilled water, and acidified near pH2 with concentrated HCl drops, neutralized with sodium bicarbonate until pH7.
Injection IM :
1.5mg threshold, little effects (therefore, obviously not morphine at this level)
3mg : my real powerful dose (effects are slightly better than morphine more pleasant)
6mg : vomiting
Perfect, it is real DAM in my experience, near 2 to 2.5 times more potent than medical morphine.

I intend to reproduce the synthesis with more detailed information, pictures, calculations, precise temperatures and material.
I'll create a well documented dedicated page about this synthesis on this forum when I'll get at least 4 or 5 synthesis of experience.
(and more morphine from my codeine, it seems to work very well)

-> Personal reflection : I still don't understand why DAM isn't used in hospital (or even legally) : the level of addiction is equivalent of Tramadol for example, for me, which is very low. A gap of time of one week between 2 doses is like one of a party with friends : it is cool, but not a problem to wait next week. My observation is : only those who already have problems with addiction could have problems of addiction...

Thank you for your report. I'm looking forward full tutorial

Here : crystals of heroin free base (with little brown contamination)
And then, the beige powder : the same heroin base passed to 610mg of diacetylmorphine hydrochloride, from 561mg of morphine free base extracted and converted from 990mg of codeine phosphate.

(my acetylation yield is obviously better than the common 70% w/w founded all over internet, I'll share you the precise protocol).

I've problems with upload of pictures...

 

[hockey34]

where can you get morphine pills these days?

 

[Plinius]

My first synthesis was from regular morphine pills from prescription. You can buy your pills on your favorite darknet market, or better, like me : you buy codeine pills even cheaper and more accessible in some countries, and pass it in morphine via demethylation with pyridine hydrochloride (for example).
For me, it is a cheaper way : codeine at less than 20€/g enable to produce near 600/650mg of heroin, is near 30€ or 35€/g.
(better than the 6% of pure heroin founded in some seller at 40€/g given for #3...)

 

[hockey34]

yes the codeine pill route is the one i was going to take.

have you tried this method to convert codeine to morphine:
A solution of 3.00 grams (10 mmol) of codeine in 60 ml of dry dimethylformamide was degassed under nitrogen by repeatedly stirring under vacuum, followed by inletting nitrogen. Following the addition of 3.00 grams (26.7 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide, the degassing process was repeated, and 3.0 ml (32.7 mmol) of n-propanethiol was injected by syringe. The mixture was stirred at 125°C under nitrogen for 45 min (similar results at 110°C for 3h), cooled, and quenched with 3.0 ml of acetic acid. The solvent was removed under high vacuum, and the residue dissolved in 30 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid. The acid solution was washed with several portions of ether, treated with 5ml of 20% sodium bisulfite, and alkalized to pH 9 with ammonium hydroxide. The precipitated solid was collected, washed with water, and dried in vacuo (100°C) to leave 2.30g (80%) of morphine as tan crystals.

 

[Plinius]

Nope, pyridine hydrochloride at 85°C during 90minutes and no need of atmosphere protection, a locked glass jar is enough.
I'll write a page on this forum.
(and I'm looking for a precise test to get the morphine and codeine proportion, I don't have a chromatograph)

 

[hockey34]

ok, looking forward to it

 

[NucleuZ]

and what about tablets morphine hcl

?

 

[Mr Gonzo]

Would the use of calcium hydroxide and ammonium chloride be the way to extract morphine sulfate from oral solution? I have made H from poppies and extracted morphine pills. Just never used oral solution for starting material, I've got two bottles 200ml in total and want to convert them.

If anyone has a proven tech for extraction of the morphine sulfate from the solution, I would love to read the tech they used.

 

[NucleuZ]

Crazy !!! madness

Nice work mate, if u didnt use a drop or 2 of cloroform it will hepl to pull more impurity out. the reaction is slightly red then you put cloroform in at the end and it solidifies that shit to the bottom in a rubbery mass, then free base youlll get a cleaner crystal. I always sarted with a gram of morph from sulphate pills, ive found doing it in slightly larger sizes is easier. I bet doing the AA fgrom sodium acetate and bromine and sulfer was an experience. If you get a bit excited putting the sulfer in the bromine loves to bubble up. Cloroform via acetone and a bleach cant remeber sort though will give exothermic reation and leave you with some cloroform to distill off. Cheers man good job.
