I know there is a thread that deals with this sort of topic but I was not able to find an exact answer to my question, so perhaps someone with a bit of knowledge in chemisty could assist me...

When 100mg 2C-I was dissolved into 10ml of everclear, it took a while and a bit of stirring to mix well. Even then, there are bits of brown within the everclear that requires a good bit of shaking to dissolve them again. Now 500mg of 2C-I would like to be mixed into 100ml of Everclear, and here is the question...

If one were to heat up the everclear so the 2C-I would dissolve easier, would this cause the 2C-I to loose potency since the everclear would be cooled down again when placed in the freezer? Do you think this would actually help in dissolving the 2C-I, and if so, would it be better to use a microwave to heat up the everclear since a burner or stove might cause some of it to evaporate?

Thanks in advance!
 
Everclear is very high percentage alcohol, which evaporates at a considerably low temperature. You COULD try heating it very slighty, maybe put the container in a pool of warm water, and letting it cool for a super-saturated solution. Though if a virtually microscopic piece of 2c-i comes in contact with the super-saturated solution it will entirely recrystalize.

I think your best option is to use more Everclear, rather than heating it, because as it is, it will tend to evaporate quickly at room temperature if it isn't sealed. You could seal it and then heat it as I mentioned, increasing the boiling point of the ethanol (under pressure), but once again you will be creating a super-satured solution that isn't at a desirable stability.

Why not 500mg of 2c-i in 750ml of Everclear?
 
dilute with h2o. 2c-i is much more soluble in water than ethanol ime (in fact, almost all psychedelic phenethylamines seem only mildly soluble in ethanol and fully soluble in h2o). 20% ethanol seems to work the best and seemed to encourage sterility well enough.

If 100mg is almost completely soluble in 10mL (10mg/mL), then 500mg should be easily soluble in 100mL (5mg/mL).
 
Thanks,

I have heard that compounds degrade more quickly in h2o, which is why I am seeking to use everclear...other compounds have preserved nicely in ethanol with no noticable loss in potency over years of storage.
