Unstable in the body, yes. But who means in vivo when talking about stability? Don't be a dick until you get some learnins.
From TIHKAL:

>The phosphate ester, psilocybin, requires two additional steps: the conversion of 4-HO-DMT (as the sodium salt) to 4-(O,O- dibenzylphosphoryloxy)-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, with dibenzyl chlorophosphonate, followed by the catalytic removal of the benzyl groups with hydrogen and Pd on Al2O3 to give the phosphate ester of 4-HO-DMT (psilocybin). This product is much more stable in air than psilocin, and is water soluble.

Again, nobodies suggesting this. The yield is low. Still, if one made psilocin, they might want to go the extra step to make the more stable 4-AcO-DMT, even though it's converted to psilocin in the body. Not that this thread is about that.

>>64469
Psilocin has a half-life that's measured in hours, but psilocybin has a half-life that's measured in months. Don't be so mean and bitchy, you just broadcast negativity, and also you were wrong.

Now apologize to Thomas Goodshit so we can go back to tripping.

Back on topic, could L-Tryptophan be extraction/isolated from 5HTP.

I recently read it was a precursor to 5HTP but this could just be wishful thinking.

>>64691
Theoretically yes, but not easily. You would have to remove the hydroxyl group. http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/prep.asp?prep=cv6p0150 Not sure if this method would work though.

honestly man the body uses a very similar pathway when creating serotinin. It uses L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase to convert the tryptophan to tryptamine, then it uses another enzyme (beta hydroxylase maybe?) to convert that to serotonin. The only issue here is that it is very difficult to replicate these enzymes without the proper lab tech. But this is not the most efficient way. Nature is much more efficient in this sense, this is why extraction is a much preferable method than synthesis.

as using chemicals, once again not very easy. you would need some sort of chemical cable of decarboxylating your amino acid in question, then another cabable of methylating your amine group, twice. Not a walk in the park without proper lab equipment. stick to extractions man

I can't find any info on this chem. Did you perhaps mean 1,2,3,4 tetrahydronaphthalene?

Almost all atomic/molecular orbital shapes have resonances in the IR-visible-UV range. Extended conjugation like in methyl red for example.

So, which vibrations "produce"/re-emit/absorb which colours? Is there anyway to tell?

Thank you guys for answering

>>64700

http://www.skidmore.edu/~hfoley/images/spectrum.jpg

you could have googled it as well

>>64716
that wasn't really what I was trying to ask. More like, what determines what colour an object will/how is it determined?

>>64717

Well guys already said it depends on what wave lengths molecules/atoms absorb.I'm not sure what you're asking but maybe you could read about IR spectroscopy so you get a feeling what happens with molecules and bonds when they are hit by photons.Different energy/frequency correlates with different types of movement of oscillators.Not saying that is the case here , but you mights get some intuition about this subject after that.

>>64713

>Can you guys tell me if I grasp evolution yet?

No you don't ..

Evolution is a theory about LIFE.It has nothing to do with elements, stars etc ..

Part that explains how life came to existence is abiogenesis.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6QYDdgP9eg

>Molecular life

Meaning what?

>Bacteria

The "first microbe" wasn't really a "bacteria" as such.

>Natural selection

This occurs straight after self replicating molecule, not after bacteria. Any replicating molecule undergoes natural selection, regardless of it it is actually a "cell" yet or not.

The rest seems fine, if simplified.

As >>64714 said, you're misunderstanding the reach of what evolution describes. The big bang produces the first elements that condense into starts. Stars collapse and produce heavier elements, which are deposited in the subsequently formed planets. The development of life from these non-living elements is abiogenesis. So these two first big steps, the big bang and abiogenesis are not described by evolution. Evolution is the progression of life.

Interesting side note though, the first 'molecular life' was likely self-catalytic RNA molecules, cool shit to think about.

>>64715

>The "first microbe" wasn't really a "bacteria" as such.

Kind of depends what you call a bacteria. There is fossil evidence of bacteria as far back as about 4.5 billion years.

hydrogen,helium - stars - light elements - heay elements

>>64701
The only thing I can answer for you is pertaining to the H2O2. This can be obtained by simply heating up regular H2O2 until the water boils off. Waters B.P. is lower than H2O2 so it will just vaporize away leaving H2O2 until the desired concentration (which can be found with basic math). You don't want to concentrate it too much as it will easily decompose at higher concentrations and too much heat can cause combustion. I've used this method to synthesis Acetone Peroxide and it has worked very well. Heat slowly.

>>64702

Ah yes, duh. I could just heat up a dilute mixture on a hotplate until I reach the desired concentration(density equations). What about storage of this solution? Could I store it in the original container? Would I need to add some sort of stabilizer at this conc.?

>>64703
I store mine simply in the original container like you said. I think at ~35% it will be stable in air and may even give it off a blue tint, it's when it reaches upward of 70% that I'm pretty sure you need a stabilizing agent.

Psychedelia stuff

And finally, a full on delirious hallucination on a bus/subway.

Don't use isopropyl alcohol. c'mon. You should probably learn more about chemistry in general before doing an extraction.

I'd just like to throw you a big fuck you if you plan on selling that as acid, I got permanent hppd from one trip off a mystery drug on 2 quarter inch tabs, I'd give tens of thousands of dollars to undo that, if you're selling it as 25i thats cool but laying drugs and selling them as acid is pretty much dosing people with mystery drugs with permanent effects without their consent, which means FUCK YOU, also I know people in the business who take this shit personally, and epic-dose knowingly lying dealers with whatever drug you're trying to push, expect us.

>>62995
The HCl is water-soluble.
Complexing it will not make it active orally. It just increases sublingual/buccal bioavailability.
Also seconding not to sell this stuff.
If you want to sell psychedelics, grow some shrooms, get a few sheets of acid and make some DMT.
Psychedelic RCs should be left to people who can at least google their IUPAC names. How high are the odds they're gonna buy from a dealer when they know enough about these drugs to handle them safely?

>>63000

Seconding this, aside from the complete lack of ethics or conscience people who do this have they also lack intelligence and foresight.

You don't know who you're selling to, but people know you. People take this very seriously, and if something goes awry (ex. HPPD or adverse effects from a fucking RC putting someone in hospital) you'll have to be naive to think people won't find you and look for your head. It's not unheard of for people to put prices on limbs for things like this and unscrupulous shits who pull this kind of thing to wind up on the receiving end of a bat.

>>63000
This, for sure.

You better tell people what it is, Lydia!!! Tell them it's not like acid, and it's not safe to take more than a couple hits (>500mics overall. Roughly). Well, it might be safe, but it might not. Don't fuck around with research chemicals.

>>62984
you from virginia?

you have to look at the pKa of the compound you're extracting... the pH has to be close to the pKa. I think, sorry, just trying to get the ball rolling here. pretty sure you could use sulfuric acid

i might be talking out of my butt here but replacing any strong acid with another should be fine because they all dissociate completely, i don't know that it would make much difference.

it would matter if, for some other purpose, your literature called for one weak acid and you wanted to use another. in that case the dissociation constants of the two acids should be similar

>>64658
Ya try using the Henderson-Hasselbalch eq?

>Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
>strong base

pa lease.

Try doing this the mathematical way. Set what you can variate equal to x and then work from that. How does it relate to what you eventually want? Don't look at the spoiler unless you really really suck at this.

The most important things to know here are:
pH + pOH = 14 (if the original solution has a pH of 7)
[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)
[OH-] = absolute amount of OH- / amount of solution

pH + pOH = 14
required pH is 11.36, required pOH = 2.64.
[OH-] = 10^(-2.64) M
Say amount of 0.150 M solution added = x.

And you don't just...learn quantum physics, holy fuck are you actually a savant?

>>64670
Don't listen to this dick

Get QED by Richard Feynman. It's a great, in depth introduction to quantum physics. You can probably find a pdf online.

> I've had trouble finding particularly good and up to date quantum physics textbooks

Even the earlier textbooks are still "up to date." Dirac's textbook is still all correct (at least, I think so). The problem is you need a solid understanding of classical physics, differential equations and linear algebra to start to go through it. If you want the same understanding that a physics grad has, you really need those pre-reqs. Otherwise, Feynman's QED is your best bet.

>>64675
Also, if you do know calculus, you might want to check out the quantum physics chapters in Atkin's Physical Chemistry. Still very difficult.

eBay mostly.

I would put in a great deal of research and planning before you embark upon this endeavor. What kind of experience do you have, in the classroom and lab? I would read up on basic lab techniques such as fractional and vacuum distillations. I would also recommend this as the most accessible pathway for an amateur chemist:

1. Distillation of sassafras to get safrole
   
2. Isomerization of Safrole with KOH and CaO to isosafrole
   
3. Epoxidation of isosafrole via a peracid (peracetic acid)
   
4. Reductive Amination with AlHg and Nitromethane
   

Be especially careful on the reductive amination, as its condition are very picky. I would follow mm's instructions to a fucking tee here. And I give you this link: http://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/index.html

Everything you need to know about the synth should be on there. Dr. Drool's synth is a good starting point, but it is somewhat outdated and peracid epoxidation is alot more accessible(completely OTC) with better yields than the classic Wacker Oxidation.

Here's another good thread to keep you grounded and to make sure you don't do anything retarded.
