Heroin Synthesis From Opium Raw

[MadHatter]

Ja, het is een bekend proces. Maar ik vroeg me af hoe het precies zit, zoals reactietijd en hoeveelheden. Ik kan geen informatie vinden.

Acetic Anhydride is the main one, alternatives like acetyl chloride or glacial acetic acid aren't gonna cut it

You're probably not a big heroin producer and is just another amateur chemist capable of getting a few grams of morphine.... A small liter of acetic Anhydride should be plentyttty gooooood to last you for your diactylmorphine needs and is not gonna raise a criminal investigation over..
10 grams of morphine is gonna call for 30-40 grams of Acetic Anhydride , which is just a small couple of "shot glass" amounts

Your good


Heard of people cooking a couple grams of morphine with a 30ml"shot glass" amount of AA on a big metal spoon with aluminum foil to cover it and cook it like that..oven it 85C like that ..

Why the same pics as the united nations recipe that is publicly available and doesn't differ much from this!? Also yes I followed this I tried and what I got some brown sludge that I have dried into a powder like substance that I can't even get to run on the foil I'm pissed as I did it right and it's fucked!

Or maybe I didn't do it idk I'll try again and one of these day I am going to get H seriously I have great poppies and can make good opium and morphine base I did right as well but the acetylation part is tricky imo...

BAD ASS SCIENCE TUTORIAL!!! Good job William

Hey

Swim is trying to understand the science part ... The part were you precipitate the morphine base at ph 8-9 ...

Sooooo the calcium hydroxide (lime) is a strong base (12.4 ph) high pH ; with the opium plant&alkaloids latex water solution mixture ..

Poppy plant material removed via filtration

...

...swim read this quote " Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solutions are weakly acidic, typically with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. "
endquote


... So swim is guessing that adding a water + NH4Cl solution to the strong base (lime) opium mixture will lower the pH


Lower the pH to 8-9
Sit a bit in cool temp and patience to get precipitated morphine base, huh



Wouldn't ammonia gas vapors would emerge from the CaOH and the NH4Cl ??

Another concern is the post RXN heroin conversion ...

After adding double-triple the amount of water post RXN reaction

...

The pH of acetic anhydride is typically around 3 when dissolved in water at a concentration of 10 g/L. Specifically, a 10 g/L solution of acetic anhydride in water has a pH of approximately 3 at 20°C says Sigma-Aldrich.

So that makes the heroin acetic salt soluble in water because of the acidic solution...
The heroin is in a salt form in the polar water acidic solution...

The chloroform is considered a non-polar solvent.

There's no way the acidic salt of heroin in acidic solution is going into the non polar solvent (chloroform)

??? The salt of heroin (not freebase) is soluble in the acidic water solution. No way the NonPolar chloroform solvent (red greasy heavier layer on bottom) had extracted the heroin acetic salt because it has not been based (high pH) to freebase yet???

QUESTION
? The chloroform is to wash the acidic heroin impurities away???

...can't extract an alkaloids salt (acetic) form in an acidic solution with a non polar solvent (chloroform TriChloroMethane ) ...
