Propylhexadrine aka hexahydromethamphetamine is found in an otc medicine (not gonna say which since this is a harm reduction site). It's an analog of methamphetamine, the only structural difference is it lacks the double bonds. It's much less potent.
I was reading a tek on how to extract it from the cotton, menthol, and lavander and I understood it fine until the last direction. It said to cut the end crystal product with sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and the goal is to end up with the hcl(salt). Why would I do that? Not only does it seem pointless but wouldn't it possibly convert it to an undesirable freebase form over time (no water or heat is instructed to be applied)? That last step makes me question the whole validity of this extraction.
How does propylhexadrine compare to dextromethamphetamine and dextroamphetamine? I've read it's just as good as dextroamphetamine but what I want to know is how it compares to methamphetamine. If propylhexadrine had a higher affinity for serotonin than dextroamphetamine like dextromethamphetamine does than this drug may be worthwhile for me. Does anyone know if it has a high affinity for serotonin? I'm prescribed adderall(75% dextroamphetamine and 25% levoamphetamine) so if it doesn't effect serotonin more than it probably wouldn't be worth extracting for me.
Is the otc formulation a racemic mixture? I'm assuming there would be two steroisomers to this drug. The 3D model on Wikipedia shows the dextro isomer of this drug but the 2D model doesn't specify.
