Fenethylline (Captagon) synthesis

[MadHatter]

Thank you for an excellent write-up as usual!
But I can't really see the point of the drug itself? Why ingest a prodrug that gives you a minor amount of speed and a pretty useless asthma medication? Theophylline has no psychostimulating effects I'm aware of, and I know the medicaton quite well.

You'll never been a middle eastern warlord with that attitude

.yap

 

[Mo0odi]

Captagon has a very large effect and strength, like methamphetamine. It increases strength, alertness and euphoria. It is the ideal substance for warriors in the Middle East.

 

[Mo0odi]

It does not cause harm to the body like methamphetamine

Unfortunately, there is not much information about its synthesis

And the other point here, do you leave it here at a certain temperature?

 

[G.Patton]

1,2-dichloroethane boiling point (~83 deg C), read topic about Reflux please

 

[cyb3r0]

Does water or alcohol need to be placed here for the reaction to take place for four hours, or does it react without that and does it need a condenser?

 

[G.Patton]

You don't need to add anything else. Yes, you have to use reflex condenser.

Thank you so much

In the oil bath, what type of oil is used, and what is the required temperature?

 

[G.Patton]

Mineral oil for oil bath

My question here is, are the ratios correct here, the kilogram and the milligram for both substances? Thank you

 

[G.Patton]

These are grams, I fixed it. Also, you could calculate it by moles.

 

[Mo0odi]

Hello
I want to know more
What is meant here by derivative (3)

 

[G.Patton]

Can you match the number (3) with the number (3) on the reaction scheme?

 

[Mo0odi]

Hello
I want your help
How do I make this solution, what is the percentage of acid in the alcohol, and what type of alcohol is used here?

 

[G.Patton]

About what are you talking about? EtOH.

 

[Mo0odi]

I mean, how can I make this solution, what is the method

 

[G.Patton]

Sorry, I don't understand your request. Reformulate it clearly please.

 

[Mo0odi]

I mean in [method 1-2] there is a hydrochloric acid (hcl) alcohol solution.

My question here is how can I make this solution

 

[41Dxflatline]

You literally just mix them together. I will simplify it for you, if you want a 4% solution get 100ml of your alchol and add 3.6ml of alcohol to it. assume 1% of concentration is 0.9 in 100ml and you will have no trouble.

Thank you
