Amphetamine Sulphate Synthesis

This document provides instructions for synthesizing amphetamine sulfate in 15 steps. It lists the chemicals needed, which include phenyl-2-nitropropene, isopropanol, aluminum foil, glacial acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid. The process involves creating an aluminum amalgam, adding it to a solution of acetic acid and water, then adding a solution of phenyl-2-nitropropene in isopropanol. This is refluxed to form amphetamine freebase, which is then extracted using dichloromethane. Finally, amphetamine sulfate is precipitated by adding sulfuric acid to the solution.

Amphetamine Sulphate Synthesis

Items Needed:
5 grams P2NP (Phenyl-2-Nitropropene)
50mL Isopropanol (Iso-heet, antifreeze, autostore)
7.5-8.5 grams of Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil (grocery store)
50ml Glacial Acetic Acid (hobby chemical supplier, pm me ill tell u where to get it)
50 grams Sodium Hydroxide (drain cleaner hardware store)
1ml Sulfuric Acid (liquid fire drain cleaner is 99% sulfuric acid)

1. Mix 50ml of the GAA with 25ml of Distilled Water in flask.


2. Dissolve 5 grams of P2NP in 50ml of warm Isopropanol (IPA). Let sit till cool.
3. While the IPA solution is cooling, we need to make the Aluminum Amalgam. Cut the
aluminum foil in 1x1 inch squares. Then put the foil in 200ml of dH20. Add 50mg of Mercuric
Chloride, and stir. After 5-10 minutes u will see grey sludges in the jar, that means the
amalgam has started. Wait 10 more minutes, then wash the aluminum 3 times with water to
get rid of all the mercuric chloride.
4. Add the aluminum amalgam into the GAA/water mix. Wait 3-5 minutes the solution will turn
grey. Stir it.
5. Add the P2NP solution and stir. After 5-10 minutes the reaction will start goin good. Let the
flask stay for 20-25 minutes.
6. In this time the solution will boil, so u need to have some kind of condenser on top, if u cant
get a real condenser (which u should), then ill post a pic of a ghetto implementation.
7. When the reaction is over put on hotplate and reflux for about an hour. You really should get
a condenser for this, they are cheap and will last forever. You can skip the reflux but the yield
wont be as good.
8. After 45 minutes the stuff will start to look a little pink.
9. When reflux is over let cool to room temperature and youll have a red/yellow solution.
10. While the solution is cooling, in a seperate glass container mix 50g of sodium hydroxide
and 50ml of water and stir to make sure it mixes well. Put in freezer until its not hot anymore.
11. When both solutions are cool, slowly add the sodium hydroxide solution to the reaction
mix. You DONT want to do it too fast because it will react violently and might jump out of the
flask. So add slowly and stir after each addition.
12. When done adding there will be 2 layers. Use a pipette and suck up the top layer. Put this
in seperate glass. Now add 20ml of Dichloromethane to the mix and shake/stir really well, then

let settle, this time we want the bottom layer, use a pipette to suck up the bottom DCM layer
and add this to the first layer we pulled. Add another 20ml of DCM and repeat one more time,
combine all the DCM pulls and the first layer we pipetted. Combine the 3 pulls together.
13. Now this has our Amphetamine freebase. Now we need to convert the Amphetamine
freebase into Amphetamine Sulphate. We make a solution of 1ml Sulfuric Acid/5ml
Isopropanol. Drop by drop add the sulfuric acid solution to the DCM/amphetamine solution and
stir alot. You will begin to see the Amphetamine Sulphate crystallize out of solution.
14. When done adding the solution, setup a coffee filter inside a funnel. Pour the Amphetamine
solution into the filter. Then let dry.
15. Now youll have a slightly red/dirty Amphetamine Sulphate. Do a recrystallization to get
pure white Amphetamine Sulphate.
Now you have to admit, if you had access to P2NP wouldnt that seem really easy? And if you
had pounds of P2NP u could make tons of Amphetamine very easily and quickly.
Here are some pictures of the process, follow the pictures with the directions and it will explain
the procedure a lot better.
