Mecke reagent reaction light brown???

[Droop]

Can anyone tell me what this chemical is?? Remember its the mecke reagent and the reaction was light brownish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

quite a few chemicals turn Mecke brown including;

• Methyclothiazide
• phazoline hydrochloride
• Oxymetazoline hydrochloride
• carbamazepine
• Thebaine
• Tripelannamine hydrochloride

and these are the ones with a reaction listed as just "brown". there are a dozen others listed as "red/brown" "orange/brown" "yellow/brown" etc...

DO you know of a listing i can look at for the mecke reagent??

 

[johnboy]

the above were taken from a list that was given to me by a chemist friend on the condition that i didn't put the entire list online. i'm happy to answer about individual reactions, but i won't publish the whole list.
there is also this document US National Institute of Justice - Color Test Reagent/Kits which has partial listings for 11 reagents.

Nothing will tell you what this chemical is.
A testkit ONLY INDICATES substances.
Try thinking differently. If it does not show 'this or that' colorchange, most likely it is not 'this or that' chemical.
I do not know how mdma should react with Mecke but if yopu do not observe the expected reaction you may deduct that your pill does NOT contain mdma.

aj: MDMA goes a greeny/blue with Mecke. Unfortunately opiates, including codeine, also go greeny/blue. This is the main reason I don't like Mecke, and strongly suggest it should only be used in combination with Marquis.
