Hi all this is my first post on bluelight I have used the site for years for reading and educational purposes. I have seen this topic all over the web on different websites. My chemistry is not good I haven't had to use any of it in a number of years but I came up with a theoretical solution to the conversion of Tianeptine Free Acid into Tianeptine Sodium. A friend of a friend said it was successful. Please anyone with more chemistry experience double check for errors and I would be interested in hearing feedback.
The equipment, process, ingredients. I am not sure if this is correct as I did not test myself. Also I do not condone, support, advise anyone to try this. If you do please take proper safety measures and use proper safety equipment. It is for informational and research purposes only, and I will not be responsible for anyones actions. If anyone does decide to try be responsible please. The final yield would be a solution with a total volume 50mL Tianeptine Sodium solution with a concentration of 10mg Tianeptine Sodium per 1mL of solution (please check my math).
Also, Step One of the conversion is to make a Saturated Aqueous Sodium Bicarbonate solution. There will be a lot left over for future use.
Alright here it is...
How to Convert Tianeptine Free Acid to Tianeptine Sodium
Equipment:
Digital Scale- Weighing to Grams (Preferably to .001g)
Cooking Pot 9in
Pyrex Bowl or 9in Baking Pan
1 Cup Pyrex Measuring Cup with mL (milliliters) readings
Glass Stirring Rod (Preferred) or Other Stirring Instrument
Digital Thermometer
Ingredients:
600 mL- Water (preferably distilled)
48 gram- Pure Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3)
.5 gram Tianeptine Free Acid (C21H25ClN2O4S)
Process:
Step 1: Saturated Aqueous Solution of Sodium Bicarbonate
Fill pot with water tap water for boiling (Not your 600 mL of distilled water)
Turn on stove to low (about a simmer maybe a little more)
Using your Pyrex bowl or Pie Pan create a double boil by placing bowl/pie pan over simmering water.
Next place 600 mL Distilled Water in double boil
Add 48 grams of Baking Soda
Stir mixture while gradually increasing temperature on stove.
While stirring bring mixture to approximately 130-150 degrees (you will notice that the solution stabilizes as it heats and will become clear.
Remove solution from heat place in storage container (A Mason Jar should Works)
Step 2: Tianeptine Free Acid ==> Tianeptine Sodium
Tianeptine F.A. + Aqueous NaHCO2 ==> Tianeptine Sodium + Water
C21H25ClN2O4S + H2O + NAHCO3è C21H24ClN2NaO4S + 2(H2O)
Keeping your pan of simmering water on low
Measure 50 mL of Aqueous NaHCO2
Place measuring cup in simmering water
Add .5 g Tianeptine F.A. to simmering Aqueous NaHCO2 in measuring cup
Stir while raising heat keep track of temperature @ 130-150 degrees Fahrenheit solution will become crystal clear and all Tianeptine will be dispersed.
You should be left with a solution of Tianeptine sodium with a concentration of 10mg/1mL
Again Feedback Is Greatly Accepted Please and Thank You
