A current post at an unmentionable site, discusses the “disappearance” of a publication which describes how cocaine can be easily transformed into Super Coke. This analogue, 4-(p-fluorophenyl)tropane, is reported to be a compound with a longer duration of activity, and a potency more than 50 times that of cocaine. This paper, it was claimed by the poster, was the only searched for synthesis not located on the site.
“So what?” you say, “The site doesn’t post abusive drug related stuff, Big deal”
But the site in mention - The American Chemical Society - is not “shy” to the subject of such substances, having previously published Daniel Perrien’s –The Chemistry of Mind Altering Drugs.
So what happened to this paper? Remember, this is a respected scientific establishment, providing for research based inquiries. It’s certainly not an organization you would think would intentionally compromise efforts by censoring content or availability, unless of course that decision was made from somewhere above management.
While it may not initially seem suspicious - not being able to find a paper from the parent site - there are obvious reasons why those involved in high end trafficking or law enforcement would not want this process to become public knowledge.
The procedure is depicted as being relatively easy, using non watched chemicals (although it does use a grignard reagent) in a 3 or so step operation which produces high yields of the desired isomer. The other 3 possible isomer products are also active - almost as much as the target analogue - and so it’s thought they wouldn’t require separation.
A very significant question was also raised concerning the toxicity of the substance.
“Would it increase proportionally with the potency?”
If the properties of cocaine were transferred to this isomer, I’d imagine incidence of heart attack would definitely rise.
The thread goes on to mention the affect such a process could have upon cartels’/ traffickers’ profits etc. A question also addressed is “why if cartels are involved in this secrecy, don’t they employ the process themselves?” One response was that they are not well educated in chemistry, but I find that an unsatisfactory answer. I’m sure a competent chemist in Columbia wouldn’t be that hard to find.
I think that if a plan of secrecy exists at all, it is more likely to have come from the DEA or some similar body. The profits would be greater if the X50 process was performed on coke already out of South America. Mind you, reducing the cargo size by the same amount would have to be attractive to smugglers.
Thoughts anyone?
