Cocaine Modern day purification process that works?

Regardless of whether you basify with sodium bicarbonate or ammonia, the products will be water soluble. Do you want me to draw out the reactions for you?

No that's cool, I understand the process and that regardless of whether you base with soda or ammonia the end result would be the same (for these purposes anyway)

I was trying to understand what the end result of basing the boric would be. Because it's an acid and basing it would essentially neutralize its acidity. What chemically would be the end result of the reaction?
 
Much less dangerous than ether an plenty of people seem to use it without issues.
But yes most organic & Petro solvents are usually pretty flammable and must be used with care.

As with many things in life, if you're carelessness or foolish they will eventually kill you.

I would hesitate to call anything dealing with hexane easy. Isn't that quite volatile and difficult to use?

Difficult to use? I'm curious what you meant by that.

Also it's got the exact same hazard rating 1/3/0 as acetone.

It’s probably not removing much the hexane step won’t remove anyway. I fully support people doing thorough purification. But we also need to keep in mind ways to streamline these processes for those who will only do the bare minimum.

Most IV users won’t even use a wheel/micron filter.

Agreed for sure. Just with my limited organic chemistry theoretical knowledge I thought why not use an acetone rinse prior to basing to eliminate anything possible then. Rather than risking basing something that could have been done away with before hand. Leaving less to deal with for the water / hexane portion of the workup.

Could be wrong, it's definitely happened before

For some reason I'm having trouble with the threading in the forums. Seems like I can't see many of the responses. And they change perhaps edits? Not sure.

I swear you'd posted the boric basification chemistry but I only saw it for a moment now I can't find it.

I'd love to see it if you want to pm it?

Im just learning but very much enjoy the actual science. Hence the reason I'm more than happy to sit on probably an ounce and a half of various samples of not very good blow until my glassware and Chems arrive.

Yeah I was having technical difficulties, sorry about that. The products are different if you use sodium bicarbonate but ammonia is better to use anyway.
