At what temp does fentanyl begin degrading?

[Pharaoh Sphinx]

eh? At what temperature exposure does fentanyl begin degrading at?

also, anyone know what temp 3-methylfent or ohmefentanyl degrade at?

As the citrate stored at room temperature in something airtight it will last a very very long time, off into the years and years. If it gets exposed to moisture and acids or bases it will start to degrade over time most likely. Light does not seem to be a factor.

I don't know much about the other analogues but I'd guess they're pretty stable too.

Should be in something like the Merck Index or B.P/U.S.P. under entry for those drugs

I dont have access to any of those publications

im just looking for a number

its not for storage its for evaporating solvents from fent solutions, dont want to evap at too high a temp and degrade it

do you think 85 farenheit will damage it?

Use a vacuum pump - liquids boil at a lower temp under reduced pressure

Merck CD is available for $125. Is this worth it for the drug-using layman?

cant do vaccuum

so would the melting point of fent (87.5 °C) be below the point of molecular degredation?? or when a molecule melts it degrades to a measureable amount?
