Again, I really don't understand this. I never will. Why people want to synthesize amphetamines, and fail, even when someone gives right molar ratios, and then they complain that they've done everything as the procedure said, and failed again and again. Even when the right molar ratios are given, there is so much that you have to know. Or sometimes even very little, but that little bit of info is mostly crucial info to make things work. Like how many times excess one on those reagents in right molar ratio MUST BE in the reaction flask to make things work. If you are to lazy to read even one straight to the point good cook book, or you're just not enough interested to find and read even one amphetamine cook book, why you don't just buy the compound? In these forums, I see this kind of people here, that I've never seen so much, anywhere. Yes, it is very good to teach a little and give good advise, and I'm not Einstein myself, but I've studied all of my reactions from internet. Forum syntheses, read bunch of books and patents, reactions on different sites. Downloaded many basic organic chem books etc. I was bad in chemistry at school, because the school itself didn't interest me. At all. But when I started learning chemistry about 8 years ago, I'm hooked into trying new syntheses, not the drugs anymore. But this is just me, everyone is different, but sometimes I'm so annoyed with this, that I must say something. And peace out! I'm sorry for the long text.
