Amphetamine from P2P (phenyl-2-propanone)

hello, I tried to cook it but it didn't work after 5 attempts, I failed, but when I made amphetamine it worked, I was thinking if my p2p had a problem, but I measured the boiling point and it was correct p2p, even though I have a video of making meth clearly,and i followed it but i didn't get anything...
this makes no sense at al after we got ph14 if you add than acid again your ph drops back to 1 also if we add methanol ph drops again

hello, I mixed 40 mlp2p, 100 ml ethanol, 25% ammonia 200 ml, aluminum foil, 20 grams, for the amalgam, I heated the reaction for 3 hours at a temperature, 69-80 degrees. after that I filtered it and got a white oil-free base layer, 25 grams, I made amphetamine with mixed the oil with acetone and dripped sulfuric acid up to ph6, and put it in the refrigerator, and I got 8 grams of white powder precipitate after drying and weighing, but when I extracted amphetamine from aqueous solution which I extracted with petroleum ether, I only got 1 gram... I think it's like that, friends.
There are 2 options when doing Hydrolisis, first is the normal old school way with HCL acid, so n-formylamphetamine + 37% hcl and boil for 2 hours
The second option which is kept in dark secret (and I don't know why????) is Hydrolisis with NaOH + Methanol, so you pour n-formylamphetamine + NaOH solution + Methanol inside reaction vessel and then boil it for 2 hours I think
But someone who has experience with Hydrolisis with NaOH+Methanol should clear up the situation and explain how it really works
@Hank Schrader
yesterday I prepared a solution off 300ml methanol + 35gr NaOH it takes 3 hours to solve, but I think this is allot better this way
Because we need methanol anyway in an later stadium . and then you are sure there is no water left in the solution.
but I think you still need HCl to boil with N-formy for tho hours.
my next try will be after boiling HCl + N-formy for two hours seperate and basified with mix methanol / NaOH
and no toluene, NEVER AGAIN
how do you prepaire your NaOH solution with water or methanol ?
I also ask before if I add the NaOH solution to the N-formy if I must boil it again, and they say no
Because the temp be not higher than 60°c
To me, this makes no sense, but this is what people say here.
I personally think these syntheses only can work if we add HCL gas to the solution.
but it is very hard to make this.
I didnt try to do this hydrolisis way with naoh+methanol, so you will have to make experiments for yourself
no need to add hcl gas to the solution, you are after amph. sulphate not amph. hydrochloride
you only have to make leuckart first (which you already made), then boil the n-formyl either with hcl acid OR naoh+methanol to perform hydrolisis
then make steam distillation of the final reaction, and voila your clean freebase should be there
Hello for steam distillation you just take the black liquid or do you add something else
you dont take out the water you use for naoh ?
you just steam distill everything ?

don't use toluene, it is not working at all .
I think steam destination is the best.
my black liquid transfer to a light yellow liquid.
but it takes a long time, and my first try was not so good.
I had only a little from 100ml black liquid.
my next try I use a 3 neck flask, I connect my pear shape separator funnel to it and fill with water.
slowly, dropwise, add the water to the flask where my black liquid is located.
every time the water connect with the black liquid, you get steam .
this steam reflux and collect it in a cylinder
