Convert Sulphate in Freebase or HCL ...

[darthseres]

A chemical technique question ... let's say I have Ephedrine in Sulphate form ... How can I convert it to Freebase or HCL? And if it were ephedrine phosphate, how should I proceed? Thanks in advance

Dissolve in lye water ph12, extract with solvent, re-acidify with hcl acid.

Ook... Wow ... so a solution of H2O + sodium hydroxide up to Ph12 ... and is it the same procedure whether it is sulphate or phosphate? ... Then if you wanted to explain to me what happens at the atomic molecular level to make this reaction dissolve the Sulphate/phosphate bond that would be great ...in any case thanks ...

Same process no matter what acid was used before. It is just a reacidification process. Idk enough to explain molecules sorry. I know how to do chemistry but not how to write it in that detail.
