Kept me nice and focused too. Whilst I doubt very much my doc would script me anything of the kind, (not sure if racemic amphetamine is actually available here, dex is, and I think possibly meth. Personally I'd prefer either dex, or ethamphetamine (no not meth, I do mean N-ethylamphetamine, would be easily made via reductive amination methods using ethylamine instead of methylamine, either of which whilst watched for sale in countries (and sellers of course) who cooperate with american porcine and DEA scum, either are easy to make. Dissolving metal reductions of the acidic variety, like Fe/HCl, Zn/HCl or iron powder/concentrated acetic acid can reduce nitromethane for methylamine, or it can be made from hexamine camping solid fuel, whilst ethylamine can be made from the harder to obtain (for most) nitroethane by the same reduction, its not dissimilar to the type of chemistry many bees use to make psychedelic phenethylamines like mescaline, 2C-B, 2C-I, 2C-D, or the likes of the TMA series (these are mescaline analogs with an alpha-methyl, amphetamine counterparts of the psychedelic phenethylamines. Nitroethane is difficult for a lot of folk to obtain, much more so than nitromethane, as the latter is used in mixtures of methanol and sometimes castor oil as fuel for model drag racing cars and can be distilled out, nitroethane is used in a few nail polish removers. Although personally I have access to a good grade of either if I want them. (although Fe/acid and Zn/acid don't work to reduce the intermediate nitropropenes to the aminoalkane directly, which would give N-unsubstituted, primary amine amphetamines, whilst the likes of meth, ethamphetamine, N-propyl/isopropylamphetamine are more suited to making secondary amines via first reduction of the nitromethane/ethane etc. and then reductive amination of the product of such acid reductions, 1-phenyl-2-propanones, aka P2Ps, BMK (benzyl methyl ketone), amalgam reductions or LiAlH4 reduction, or else a two-step reduction using sodium borohydride first to reduce the nitro group and the double bond of the phenylnitroalkenes afforded from substituted benzaldehydes and knoevanagel-type nitroaldol condensations and then a dissolving metal reduction to reduce the double bond to give the product can allow use of such acidic dissolving non-amalgam based reductions directly to amphetamines in two steps. For some reason the presence of the double bond allows the lewis acidi transition metal salts like ferric chloride to coordinate to the nitro group, leading to production of P2Ps instead of direct reduction to the aminoalkane. Fe/HCl etc. does work for phenethylamines, but not for alpha-substituted (amphetamines, the term comes from Alpha Methyl PHEnEThylAMINE) products, but for synthesis of N-alkylated amphetamines rather than plain amphetamines of the primary amine type, its actually better, because its a lot easier in practice, in terms of reactivity and avoiding over-alkylation to tertiary amines (such as dimethylamphetamine which whilst I've never tasted it is reportedly a really weak stimulant)
Also trying to mono-alkylate a primary amine to a secondary is difficult and usually a lot of dialkylamine occurs as a byproduct, or even quaternization to inactive compounds, reductive amination of the intermediate ketone is much more selective and efficient, Although N-alkyl amphetamines with ring substitution seem to lose a LOT of their activity and take on more of an antidepressant profile of activity, things like ARIADNE, BEATRICE, and the active members of the Classic Ladies series of ring-substituted amphetamines (all of them are N-alkyl derivatives of previously known psychedelic amphetamines, only with N-R groups where R is a small alkyl group, but it seems psychedelic activity drops off sharply with N-methylation of active psychedelic amphetamines. The primary and perhaps only exception to this is in the methylenedioxy ring substituted compound series and alkylenedioxy ring-expanded versions retaining activity (which sharply drops past ethylenedioxy, although the benzofuranyl (like MDA, MDMA etc. but with one or the other of the two oxygens in the benzodioxole system replaced by carbon, these too are active empathogen/entactogens and indeed, whilst I've never tried any of the benzofuran-6-yl derivatives I've found the benzofuran-5-yl isomers (ring numbering for the benzofuran rings is shifted up a position on the phenyl ring with respect to MDxx, 3,4-methylenedioxy becoming benzodifuran-5,6-yl) they are IMO more pleasant, and easier on the body, at least the benzofuran-5-yl homologs of MDMA, MDE, etc. being quite a lot smoother and less peripheral unwanted stimulation. The MDE analog is especially pleasant, and quite suitable for being out in public, in a crowded shopping center for example. Really easy going material, nice smooth stuff, quite likeable and without intense trippiness, or confusion etc. such as with high doses of MDMA.
Past your bedtime? aww aint that just cute
Thats not even close to my getting tired, I'm definitely a night owl rather than a morning person, unless I've been busy all night and have to continue into the morning.
