Stage 3. JWH-018 Synthesis
19. Previously purified 3-(1-naphthoyl)indole 100 g is poured into a flask.
20. Sodium hydroxide 50 g is added.
21. Next, TBAB (tetrabutylammonium bromide) 25 g is added.
22. Water 200 ml is poured into the flask.
23. 1-Bromopentane 75 g is added.
24. A stirrer is turned on.
25. The reaction mixture in the flask is self-heated. An external heating is turned on until the mixture starts to boil. The boiling point is maintained for 15-30 min, depending on a boiling intensity.
26. A 1-bromopentane excess will be evaporated into an atmosphere (use proper ventilation). Reflux condencer is installed.
27. After a while, the mixture is poured into a beaker. The mixture is left for a layers separation.
28. The desired top layer is collected. The collected top layer is transferred into a separate vessel.
29. The oil is cooled down to room temperature (this procedure also helps to evaporate a 1-bromopentane excess if it is still there).
