Currently, I have some fine white powder Methylone that I'm attempting to recrystallize for purity's sake.
My initial attempt (kitchen setup) was a shot glass in a pan of water. I poured 70% IPA into the shot glass, then heated the setup until IPA began to boil. I added 1g of Methylone, stirred, then added a small amount of IPA to completely dissolve the Methylone. I left the setup on LOW LOW heat to evaporate the IPA without heating too much the Methylone.
As the IPA evaporated, the solution became more and more yellow, with a few crystals beginning to form, very small however. It should be completed by tonight and I'll post results.
In the mean time, can anyone make suggestions for a better home set up/procedure? Also, since Methylone is a better solute in polar solvents, can someone suggest a safe, nontoxic nonpolar solvent? Preferably one whose boiling point is below Methylone's.
