I like my map I've had a taste for that stuff since the late 1970s the Pied Piper of meth they called me you know these little children down the path [Applause] coming off the bench for the first time all season faster begins his synthesis of nitro ethane with the drying of ethanol from grain alcohol a volumetric flask is charged with one liter of 95 ethanol insulated with aluminum foil and heated methyl ethyl Ketone is added to entrain water in a positive azeotrope allowing it to be distilled from the ethanol she's distilling first down 93 sulfuric
acid is poured into a stoichiometric excess of dry ethanol and gently boiled sulfuric acid protonates ethanol's oxygen forming an ethyl oxonium ion that participates in an sn2 reaction the oxonely loses water and the sulfate attacks a carbon producing ethyl sulfate but the rapid addition of sulfuric acid and high temperature allows subsequent sn2 reactions that form diethyl ether which boils from the reaction mix and the probable human carcinogen diethyl sulfate a menacing side product recognizable by its Wintergreen Aroma just got alkaline deep red crude ethyl sulfate is removed from the hot plate and poured over ice
all right now I can start adding my powdered Limestone oh to the ice cream scoop that's exactly what it is an unknown quantity of ethyl sulfate is treated with an unmeasured quantity of calcium carbonate which deprotonates the sulfate food forming a water-soluble salt calcium ethyl sulfate the mixture is passed through a filter bag to remove excess calcium carbonate squeezing out I don't know how to describe the smell I'm tempted to say Wintergreen I've worked in the electroplating industry for 27 years now so my sense of smell is not particularly acute the filtered aqueous calcium methyl
sulfate is treated with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate forming sodium ethyl sulfate the cation exchange is visually monitored by the precipitation of insoluble calcium carbonate which settles to the bottom of the bucket 25 grams of potassium carbonate an unknown quantity of aqueous sodium natural sulfate and 300 grams of sodium nitrate are added to a round bottom flask followed by a dash of tropical coconut shampoo acetyl alcohol is the anti-foaming ingredient that I want all right and just let that sit on the stove for the time being great the mixture is heated to 130 degrees
Celsius and begins to Bubble lone pair electrons on sodium nitrite's nitrogen attack the electrophilic carbon in an sn2 reaction forming sodium sulfate and nitroethane which boils from the reaction X so for that after the failure of this electrolytic oxidation Vester opts to distill benzaldehyde from an almond baking Emulsion the presumed benzaldehyde distillate is extracted with toluene in a step funnel and transferred to a round bottom flask so this is added 100 milliliters of nitroampane and 50 milliliters of ethylene thiamine Steve don't you weigh anything out the flask is heated on a stove and the Henry
reaction is left to run overnight have you done this reaction before no after sitting the freezer overnight a solid precipitate which is assumed to be phenyl 2 Nitro propane is observed at the bottom of the flask that's receptor flask with steel wall to suspend iron violence add hydrochloric acid and keeps the mixture in a water bath reaction begins with an iron reduction of the alkene prusum and Nitro alkane which then undergoes a nephritin the nitrogen Automotive is protonated to an electronic acid and the medium carbon the protein acid is subject to nucleophile attacked by water
forming an unstable intermediate that loses elimination of nitroxyl forms nitrosoxide and P2P which after base neutralization is distilled directly from reactions thank you a one liter volumetric flask is packed with aluminum foil using a lignocellulous tamping apparatus Ram ride to jam it in nothing but a baby spoonful the aluminum is Amalgamated with an unmeasured quantity of aqueous Mercury nitrate you know Mercury nitrate poisonings where the term mad as a Hatter comes from that person who's addicted to this stuff you know I mean if he doesn't have it he's fiend and he's a junkie it just
made them all sloppy and this sort of stuff you know and they're they're drooling and licking peanut butter out of each other's cracks and that sort of stuff and you know that doesn't sound all that hot to me it doesn't it doesn't seems like you like that kind of thing what drooling depraved sexual activity well yeah yeah so it's time to get ready to rock and roll here unmeasured volumes of isopropanol and nitromethane-based fuel are added to the amalgam the reduction begins immediately and the flask is transferred to a stovetop a hose is used to
direct the gaseous methylamine Freebase into the flask containing P2P forming an immune there you go methylamine gas getting pipe down in there there's some methylamine for you is correct what do you think about opening a couple of these windows go for it methylamine is fun and easy to make I recommend it as a play time for children everywhere be concerned about the Mercury nitrate on your toilet I'll take care of that in a bit there it is poisonous residue all over this house one immune reduction away from methamphetamine investor interrupts his synthesis out of a
deeply held respect for federal law so this is chemistry interruptus yes we came just about that close to coming just about now it's time to pull out it was my pleasure given all this difficulty do you think it's worth it it's worth it for the knowledge for me more than well maybe a quarter pound of product coming out at the end you know because you know what they sell in ounces for these days well it's not always near as good as the product I'd be cooking but still ounces are going for like 700 an hour
so that's in Green Bay if you get closer to the Border it's even less all right well I'm good to go
