Is there a cheap/easy diy test for the presence of cyanide in arylcyclohexylamines? I've heard that an abundance of it will give off an almond-like odor ... but beyond that I haven't seen any suggestions for testing.
 
nothing? thought this was harm reduction forum! jk. mods can you move this to ADD if there are no responses? tia
 
wtf cyanide in arylcyclohexylamines? isn't this a poison ? why do you suspect its presence ? is it a possible contaminant from synthesis ?
 
Hydrogen cyanide is part of the synth (creating PCC) from what I understand, and if the synth is done poorly it may be left unreacted in the final product. This is my novice understanding. Traces have been detected in recent batches of 4-MeO-PCP according to ecstasydata and other lab reports. I haven't read of any easy way to test for it other than the smell test (sounds haphazard and my sense of smell is pretty bad anyway).

Found these test strips online, but being ignorant of chemistry, I have no idea if they are well suited or would even work in this scenario.
 
i was thinking about getting some 4meopcp soon but was wondering if the contaminated batch is still around ? i knew about the possibility for pcc but had no idea it was related in some way to cyanide :!
info on how to check for this inpurity would be very useful
 
its probably much easier if you haven't tried it yet... 4meopcp is fucking great !
 
You have to differentiate between free cyanide ions and organic cyanides / nitriles. A lot of nitriles have fairly stable C-C-bonds and therefore won't easily give off cyanide. Though nitriles can be toxic themselves (i.e. in an other way than cyanide ions), which seems to be the case with PCC.

Free cyanide is perhaps detectable as prussian blue.
 
I too have been hesitant to aquire this substance because I heard rumors of a highly contaminated batch going around. Interested to see what i can look for.
