No contacts for it these days, but just Macgyver'ed a batch of phet, hopefully it has succeeded, getting a fine white precipitate from the partially stripped off isopropanol, when crashed with anhydous acetone containing a few drops of conc. sulfuric acid, dried over molecular sieves,. Started with a knoevanagel condensation using benzaldehyde, nitroethane and triethylenetetramine acetate, solventless, in the microwave, took about 15 minutes to prepare the nitropropene, nuking in cycles alternating with cooling in the freezer, to give said nitropropene, P2NP, then this was washed, recrystallized, washed with bisulfite to adduct any stray benz, which would interfere with the reduction. and added to an isopropanolic solution of sodium borohydride, then copper (II) chloride was added, using excess borohydride, forming copper nanoparticles in-situ which reduces the precursor to amphetamine in a 1-pot two step reaction.
Of course, GHB from GBL, who hasn't...
Chlormethiazole from vitamin B1 is another, likewise bromethiazole, or whatever the hell the brominated homologue should be called. Old school downer that really hits hard, barbiturate type action. Smells funky, eats plastic, and if one attempts distillation without vacuum, the base can and probably will crack into some HIDEOUS stinking sulfurous abomination. But good stuff. Rarely ever prescribed these days, although I am, for seizure prevention/treatment. Still, decided to whip up a batch several times. The aqueous layer needs to be carefully removed, all traces of it, when doing the bisulfite cleavage, and the flask chilled in an ice-salt-methanol bath, because the other part that cleaves off buggers up vitamin B6 catalyzed processes, including GABA biosynthesis, making it a real nasty convulsant poison.
So of course careful workup is a must.
On the list- bucinnarizine, an opioid, N-n-butyryl-N-trans-cinnamylpiperazine,
as well as DM-235, N-propionyl-N-benzoylpiperazine, works via somehow potentiatig AMPAr mediated responses and improving LTP, as a nootropic, hell potent too, something like 100x the potency of piracetam, dose in humans is something like 5mg, maybe 10,
Got all the acid chlorides and anhydrides needed, think I'll buy myself some 4-dimethylaminopyridine and pyridine to improve the acylation process.
In the pipeline, some benzhydryl based stimulants, maybe phenmetrazine analogues.
