Heroin Synthesis From Opium Raw

[William Dampier]

Morphine extraction:
1. 1 kg Opium was dissolved in boiling water (750 ml).

2. It was added 250 g Ca(OH)2 and the heating removed.

3. The mixture was allowed to cool and stand overnight.
4. The solution was filtered, the residue dissolved in boiling water (250 ml) and re-filtered.
5. The combined filtrates were re-heated until the solution steamed, at this point the pH of the solution was adjusted to 8–9 with NH4Cl.

6. Left to stand overnight.
7. The solution was filtered to leave behind morphine base (65 g).

Morphine HCl:
1. Morphine base (65 g) was dissolved in 600 ml hot warm water.
2. 19 ml concentrated HCl and 25 g of charcoal were added.
3. The solution was warmed for 10 min and then filtered.
4. The filtrate was left to stand overnight.
5. Filtered to leave behind morphine hydrochloride (30 g).

Heroin base:
1. Acetic anhydride (80 g) was added slowly to morphine (30 g).

2. The resulting solution was heated and stirred at 85 *C for 2.25 h.
3. Allowed to cool to room temperature.
4. The solution was diluted with cold water (150 ml).
5. The solution was cooled on ice and made basic (pH 8– 10) with cold 10% sodium carbonate.

6. The resulting aqueous solution was extracted with chloroform (150 ml) and dried over MgSO4.
7. Evaporated to leave diacetylmorphine base (24 g).


Heroin HCl:
1. Diacetylmorphine base (from morphine hydrochloride) (24 g) was dissolved in acetone (150 ml).

2. Concentrated HCl was added at pH - 6.
3.The solution evaporated to leave behind diacetylmorphine hydrochloride (23 g).

How is this procedure different if acetyl chloride is used instead of acetic anhydride?

 

[William Dampier]

This procedure is possible

 

[MadHatter]

Yes, it's a known process. But I was wondering about the specifics, like reaction time and amounts. Can't find any info.

 

[Chemtrail]

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 ..

 

[William Dampier]

The conditions are the same

 

[None]

Is it possible to acetylate and synthesize morphine with acetic acid? With reflux

 

[None]

Hi, before synthesizing with anhydride, should we evaporate the hydrochloride solution or add anhydride to the same solution?

[Wallpaper]

in the extraction of morphine
Point 5 is incomprehensible,can you explain more

 

[41Dxflatline]

All the filtered liquid from step 4 is combined in one container then heated up until it starts to steam, then you keep adding ammonium chloride to the liquid until the ph reaches 8 or 9

 

[mycelium]

That is totally understandable and I have problems understanding shit sometimes

 

[Midget_Impinger]

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

 

[cubesquare]

You can get raw opium from Nemesis market, a seller called Boomshankar has "artisanal opium" available.
It isn't cheap per gram, but it is the real deal.

(that's my market referral link, if you do buy, I get a minuscule kickback)

 

[cubesquare]

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

 

[3l_p4t0_m4l3f1c0]

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!

 

[AS2005]

Hello

I had some questions about heroin, if possible, please answer

1. Is it possible to reduce the amount of morphine and add another substance instead?

2. What laboratory equipment is needed to make heroin?

3. Is there a movie about making heroin? If there is, please send it.

4. Explain steps 6 and 7 of the heroin base.

 

[pachemguy]

Working in producing base tonight

 

[Acidosis]

Please info of your job..keep in touch Dear.

 

[Acidosis]

Hi Dear...you finish the Production of H-base??all's nice ??

 

[Plinius]

I think there are a lot of problems in this process :
Example :
1 - they pass from from 65g of Morphine free base to 30g of Morphine HCl... Nobody would be so careless with a valued product... You just need to add hydrochloride acid at ambient temperature and controlled pH. Nobody will accept to loose more than 50% of a product like this.
2 - WHY using morphine hydrochloride to acetyl it in heroin, get heroin free base (???) and then pass again heroin base to hydrochloride ?? And what happens to the chlorine ions from morphine ??? They disappear ?
3 - Why they are drying the heroin product (and loosing weight) for add HCl later, assuming it is in solution, to make it evaporate finally ? (I mean, this drying on MgSO4 is not really necessarily at this point... But ok, quite common in chemistry, but not really useful here)

Honestly I have serious doubt on this process, especially about efficiency which is terrible.

 

[Plinius]

Ok, the hydrochloride is neutralized later in the process, at the same time of acetic acid formed

 

[41Dxflatline]

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.
