I think something wrong with graph.
If you use L+-tartaric acid(cheaper and easier to find)the D enantiomer(amph,Meth) will be in the solution not in the solid as there appears.
If you use D-tartaric acid(more expensive and difficult to find) the D enantiomer(amph,Meth) will be in the solid.
Thanks.

P.S. same for methamphetamine.

Joker_55555I’m not Patton, but: it’d produce only D-meth of the ephedrine that was used was derived from a plant, since plants naturally only produce L-ephedrine (which turns into the opposite enantiomer after reaction - D-meth in this case). If chemically synthesized ephedrine was used, than you’d get racemic meth, because ephedrine synthesis isn’t stereospecific.

Hello, does methamphetamine synthesized from the method of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine give the d-methamphetamine isomer with 99% purity? If not, how much?
