4-MMC (mephedrone) synthesis. Complete video tutorial.

[Tsigger]

I didn’t add acetone, just MMC freebase in benzene, and I dripped in 30% HCl at pH 5.5. I added the acid slowly. Could acetone be the issue? I forgot, because I usually acidify with DCM+water, so acetone didn’t come to mind. How did you acidify the beauty in the picture? Thank you very much.

the beauty in the picture is result of crystalisation process
doesnt matter which path in sytnehsis you go, its onyl visual output

i ve successfully received crystals in the final when i did a lot of mistakes and used acetone to acidification. It just happened - unfortunate things between. Still output like that.
You should analize what you do

If you use aq. hydrochloric acid, you need a solvent that binds water. This is acetone or alcohol (ethanol, propanol)

Hello friends, where I can find the NMP?

 

[WillD]

can be replaced with dmso. or even with dmf.
