Sorry,
But wheres the best place to post questions on the synthesis of mdma..
And here comes prob the dumbest and most asked q...whats the diff between purple and black?Surly you know..
 
Drug synthesis is best left to the hive http://hive.lycaeum.org
be forewarned that its not too easy to do the synth. unless you are skilled to some extent in chemistry.
The shades of purple-black are the different drugs MDMA, MDEA, MDA all react differently to the marquis reagent, though to an untrained eye, they'll look similar.
Don't forget that pills may not be made up of just one substance, and the mixture of substances, plus the binding agents in a pill can affect the speed and shade of the reaction

Thanks mod,
Prob the last question i will bother you with...You say that the tester identifies mdxx substance (xtc like) does this mean MDP-2-p also turns up as black/purple? You may not want to answer this and i understand why... if not mabe you could email me.
Once again Thanks for your valuble info. Bitch
 
MD2P2 is an unstable ketone liquid and will dissapear at STP in about a week. There's no reason for it to ever come in contact with Marquis reagent.
 
What if some ass chemist decided to press just safrole or isosafrole into a pill. Would that test purple/black? I'm tempted to say yes because of the telltale ring structure.

Both safrole and iso will turn purple/black; more purple i have been told.
Both are oily liquids at RT; hence really not possible to press into a pill.
There are many substances a lot cheaper and easier to get than those two which will also go purple/black.
 
I heard of someone who tested a small amount of bisulphite-MDP2P addition product, and it turned dark red-purple, sort of like MDEA on the colourchart...and sassafras changed dark, dark purple (not as red as the MDP-2P).
It seems that the methylenedioxy group tends to give the purple/red colour, and the rest of the (modified) amphetamine structure gives the black somehow through the amine moiety (yes, a bio word, but I like it). MDEA, because the ethyl group "protects" the amine, gives more of a colour like a non-amphetamine structure would.
Just my little theory, based on nothing but a friend's observations...
