Amphetamine-Sulphate-Synthesis

Amphetamine sulphate synthesis

What we are need is:
5g P2NP
50ml Isopropanol
7,5-8,5g of Aliuminium foil (better to use thick foil)
50ml 98% acetic acid (can also use 70%, than don’t needwater)
50g NaOH
1ml H2SO4

Firstly, you will make mix with acetic acid and water.Water we need, because we are
using 98% of acetic.If will be 70%, than we will not need.Pour (50ml GAA + 25ml
dH2O)in to 250ml erlenmeyer flask.

Prepar solution of 5g P2NP and IPA.Disolve 5g in to 50ml of warm IPA.Let to cool.

While IPA solutions is cooling, need to make aliuminium amalgam.Cut the squares1x1.Than put in to 200ml dH2O, add 50mg of Hg(no3) or other Hg salts and stir.After
5-10 minutes you will see grey dregs in the jar.That mean, the amalgamation is
started.Wait about 10 minutes moreand wash aliuminium with water 3 times.Than all
dregs and Hg(no3) wash out.Becouse Hg salts are very dangerous!

You are ready to start reaction.Add aliuminium amalgam in to acetic acid with watermix.Wait for about 3-5 minutes, while solution will be grey.You can stir it.

Than add P2NP solution and stir a little bit.After adition in the 5-10 minutes will start
stormy reaction.So let theflask to stay quietly, for about 20-25 minutes.

In this time, all solution will boil, so need to put in the erlenmeyer flask some
condenser.

SWIM use glass funnel.It works good.

After stormreaction.
When the reaction is over, put the flask on the hotplate and make reflux for 1hour.At
this moment SWIM doesn’t have hotplate, so he is use boiling water bath.You can
also don’t do thereflux, but the yield will be less than after reflux

After 45 minutes, you can see that the stuff are pink.

Reflux is over.Let to cool to room temperature.You got red/yellow solution.

Whilethe solution is cooling, we need NaOH.Add 50g NaOH in the jar and pour 50ml
dH2O.The solution will be very hot.Need to cool it, so put in the freezer camber.

When two solutions were cooled, start...
