For the synthesis of diphenylacetonitrile can the anhydrous Aluminum trichloride be substituted for anhydrous Iron trichloride instead when reacting alpha bromo phenylacetonitrile with benzene.

Hello friends . Do you need a rotary evaporator for the synthesis of methadone? I don't have a rotary evaporator but I have a vacuum pump, can I evaporate the solvents in another way?

AdelrainmanAlso, you can do it with help of Buchner flask + vacuum and warm water bath.

There are a lot of errors in the synthesis here.
You write that you need 2,2-Diphenyl-3-methyl-4-dimethylambutyronitrile,
this is not the correct nitrile isomer and you can obtained from it only isomethadone.

2,2-Diphenyl-3-methyl-4-dimethylamino butyronitrile does not have a crystalline form.
You write: "It was then recrystallized from petroleum ether to give 900 g of 2,2-Diphenyl-3-methyl-4-dimethylambutyronitrile."

Initially, you started correctly,
and said that you need 4-cyano-2-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenylbutane.
4-cyano-2-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenylbutane (Premethadone)
CAS: 125-79-1 is the correct nitrile. Only from it you can get methadone.

In the synthesis of a nitrile, you don't use a solvent...
Also, you don't use a Catalyst, which shifts the reaction in the right direction to increase the yield of the desired nitrile.
You are left with a lot of unreacted precursor, since the deprotonation must be done in the presence of a catalyst.

I'll disappoint you, but you can't get methadone in THF, you can get methadone only through ethyl ether.. The addition reaction does not work in THF.
In your synthesis there is no word about the purification of nitrile, therefore it is dirty and black under the conditions that you describe.
I don't know where you got this synthesis, but you won't get anything good - sorry.

Hank Schrader1. firstly, he wrote that he received the correct nitrile by recrystallized from petroleum ether (here you can use hexane) 2. Without a solvent, nitrile also comes out, since alkali acts as a catalyst and why does the reaction in tetrahydrofuran not go?) you don’t know how the Grignard reaction adds a substance

You can share us correct way here, we would like to see and discuss it. In general, I am agree that 4-cyano-2-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenylbutane have to be recrystallized before Grignard reaction.

Hello, chemist friends. I have a question, thank you for your help. We know methadone with the formula c21h27no, which is the result of synthesis, but methadone 10 and 20 mg tablets are introduced as methadone hydrochloride, that is, this formula is c21h28clno. Why and how to make methadone hydrochloride c21h27no + hcl = c21h28clno in the laboratory

rezaIt is done in order to make methadone water soluble. Hydrochloride salt can be consumed by human body.
3. The condenser was arranged for distillation, and 5000 ml of 10% HCl was added to the mixture, and the organic solvent distilled from the reaction mixture.
4. The residue was then transferred to a beaker and 2000 ml of benzene added, whereupon three layers formed
5. Upon standing, the Methadone hydrochloride, which crystallized from the oily middle layer, was collected and dried to give 960 g.
this is the way

After going through the steps of synthesis, when we reach methadone hydrochloride, what tests should be done to confirm the synthesis? Or in other words, it refers to the substances produced by methadone and can be consumed

rezaIs this methadone converted to tablet formulation? How to know the quality of synthesized methadone?

Jesus, this is almost like trying to read Chinese to me. You guys are extremely admirable with your knowledge and dedication.

I wonder if some members actually do these synthesise themselves and have a huge stack of methadone laying around 😅

If so, hit me up and I will gladly help you get rid of it! 😋

Hello, chemist friends, good time: I am studying different methods of methadone synthesis and methadone precursors. The methods and tips mentioned for the synthesis in the articles are ambiguous for me. I will share with you and thank you for your guidance. First, a method for the synthesis of 1-dimethylamino-2-chloropropane:

Synthesis of 1-dimethylamino-2-chloropropane

2.25 milliliters of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol together with 5 milliliters of chloroform solvent inside the double-necked flask
Put it under argon gas and put the system in an ice bath until the temperature reaches zero degrees Celsius And
Then dilute 2 ml of thionyl chloride with 1 ml of chloroform and then Then enter the system drop by drop with a Pasteur pipette They add and placed at room temperature for 30 minutes During this time, the liquid inside the balloon It is precipitated and and heated again for 30 minutes at a temperature of 61 degrees Celsius when the sediment is liquid and in
During boiling, SO2 and HCl gas is released. And then they continue heating until the substance inside the balloon form sediment again The precipitate formed is 1-dimethylamino-2-chloropropane hydrochloride . Then
Washed several times with ether to remove impurities and then with crystallized ethanol that has a melting point It is 191 degrees Celsius And then they poured water on the crystal to dissolve it completely. and then 20% NaOH added to it, that the desired substance is insoluble in NaOH and becomes two-phase,
that phase
It is above the desired material
which was dissolved in ether and separated by a decanter funnel
and then to ethereal solution NaSO4 is added
And after extraction with solvent, the raw material is obtained as an oil.

At the beginning of the mentioned reaction, 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol was placed in an ice bath with chloroform under argon until its temperature reached zero, and according to the instructions, a two-mouthed flask was used: I think one mouth is closed with a septum. And a balloon filled with argon gas is installed on the septum with the help of a syringe and a refrigerant or condenser is installed in the other opening? I mean, what is installed in these two openings of the reaction flask so that the reaction can be implemented?
I am having trouble setting up this system. Can you guide me to make the right choice and set up this system so that I can understand how to do the reaction steps.. Thank you My next question is that it is explained in the reaction protocol that thionyl chloride and chloroform are added to the reaction mixture with the help of a Pasteur pipette. Should we have a dropping funnel installed on the flask to add Pasteur with a pipette?

I think that in order to use the Pasteur pipette, we need to open the lid of the flask to destroy the atmosphere created by the argon? Isn't the existence of orgone important? please guide me . Thankful
