Methamphetamine synthesis from P2P via Aluminum amalgam

[Acab1312]

I'm currently experimenting with al/hg and wanted to scale the synthesis. I asked myself the question of whether it is absolutely necessary to use a capacitor? I suspect it is needed to keep the methylamine and solvent (methanol) in reaction vessel. But would it be possible to compensate for methylamine loss with a new methylamine-methanol solution?

Perhaps an excess of methylamine was used, not much, just to compensate
Add an amount of water
Keep the temperature no more than 60 degrees and you will be fine

Thanks Perfect will try

shouldnt be much lost at good temp and condensor

My goal is to do p2p in about 10L per lap.
