Síntesis de heroína a partir de morfina

[nkd23]

7. Se añade carbón activado a la mezcla (solución de cloroformo), que absorbe las impurezas sólidas, que se filtran repetidamente hasta que la solución es clara


¿se trabaja con la parte de cloroformo o con la capa de agua?

Depending on the pH - salt will be in the water layer, oil will be with the chloroform. So whatever you originally started with, morphine salt or base, if the pH hasn't changed it should be obvious. I haven't done this but it sounds like it should/will be a salt after addition of the acetate.

¿Puede decirme la cantidad exacta de cloroformo? Gracias.

aproximadamente x5 de carga por lote en gramos

Yes, you can do small batches at home via the haloform reaction between acetone and sodium hypochlorite:

3 NaOCl + (CH3)2CO → CHCl3 + 2 NaOH + CH3COONa

I believe Uncle Osmo has done this

Hey

Swim is trying to understand the science part ... The part were you precipitate the morphine base at ph 8-9 ...

Sooooo the calcium hydroxide (lime) is a strong base (12.4 ph) high pH ; with the opium plant&alkaloids latex water solution mixture ..

Poppy plant material removed via filtration

...

...swim read this quote " Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solutions are weakly acidic, typically with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. "
endquote


... So swim is guessing that adding a water + NH4Cl solution to the strong base (lime) opium mixture will lower the pH


Lower the pH to 8-9
Sit a bit in cool temp and patience to get precipitated morphine base, huh



Wouldn't ammonia gas vapors would emerge from the CaOH and the NH4Cl ??

Another concern is the post RXN heroin conversion ...

After adding double-triple the amount of water post RXN reaction

...

The pH of acetic anhydride is typically around 3 when dissolved in water at a concentration of 10 g/L. Specifically, a 10 g/L solution of acetic anhydride in water has a pH of approximately 3 at 20°C says Sigma-Aldrich.

So that makes the heroin acetic salt soluble in water because of the acidic solution...
The heroin is in a salt form in the polar water acidic solution...

The chloroform is considered a non-polar solvent.

There's no way the acidic salt of heroin in acidic solution is going into the non polar solvent (chloroform)

??? The salt of heroin (not freebase) is soluble in the acidic water solution. No way the NonPolar chloroform solvent (red greasy heavier layer on bottom) had extracted the heroin acetic salt because it has not been based (high pH) to freebase yet???

QUESTION
? The chloroform is to wash the acidic heroin impurities away???

...can't extract an alkaloids salt (acetic) form in an acidic solution with a non polar solvent (chloroform TriChloroMethane ) ...
