To be honest, not quite sure how much I'd trust an acid blotter these days. Usually for me, its mushrooms, generally P.cyanescens, owing to living not so near to cow shit filled fields. Although a careful ID is required (spore print ALL of those wee fuckers. Rust brown=chuck that one and everything one inch or so to the side of the foil sheet is my policy, given the lookalikes, assuming somebody gets one and doesn't by pure luck pick something like Kuhneromyces mutabilis, are full of amatoxins (Galerina species, and yes, I've seen the two fruiting on the same woodchips, needless to say, those particular ones with neighbors like that get tossed out in a hurry)
Was working on DOM and 2C-D but some CUNT stole the damn 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde.
Next..I'm thinking a trial of something a bit new, the 3-bromo analog of difluoromescaline. The closest, roughly, I could find was fenfluramine, with respect to SAR, and thats a single ring-substitution on an amphetamine (3-trifluoromethyl-N-ethylamphetamine) and its bad news (potent 5HT2b agonist, long duration, so is its desethyl metabolite, norfenfluramine)
But, a more delicate reducing agent, or at least something that'll directly reduce a nitrostyrene and nitropropene to the amine without ring-dehalogenation is needed. Red-Al I think. Rather than some bulky Fe/GAA/FeCl3 reduction to a ketone then either oximation and reduction of the ketoxime...The beauveault-blanc reduction seems a bit...violent with that aryl halide around. And bollocksed if I want owt to do with Al/Hg amalgam reductions...Touchy as hell and I've never had a damn milligram of success with that bastard thing. Toxic slops and geysers, is what its good for, not a reduction involving something that cost ?90 or so for 5g and that there ain't no more coming for.
Otherwise..the thought of having a crack at one of Shulgin's 'aleph' series, seems interesting enough.
Just glad that that thieving twat (no, not a copper, just a sticky-fingered piece'o'shite) will have got his just deserts (lets just say, one bedroom flat and a backpack containing a few nasty surprises if opened outside of inert gas, some rather toxic stuff and bits and pieces of pyrophoric materials mixed with solvent containers got left for him. I SO hope that LiAlH4 got opened near the ether and acids......)
