To make MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), also known as ecstasy or molly, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:
Ingredients:
Safrole (extracted from sassafras oil or star anise)
P2P (para-hydroxyphenylpropanone)
Acetic anhydride
Lye (sodium hydroxide)
Acetone
Dichloromethane
Activated charcoal
Diethyl ether
Hexane
Celite
Silica gel
Distilled water
Hydrochloric acid
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium carbonate
Activated alumina
Equipment:
Double boiler or microwave-safe glass bowl
Glass stirring rod
Glass measuring cups and spoons
Funnel
Large beaker
Separating funnel
Filter funnel
Vacuum filter
Rotary evaporator or large beaker and hot plate
Mortar and pestle
Glass jars with lids
Instructions:
Extract safrole from sassafras oil or star anise:
Grind 100g of sassafras root bark or 50g of star anise into a fine powder.
Place the powder in a glass jar and cover it with 500ml of ethanol.
Stir well and let it sit for 2-3 days.
Strain the mixture through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into another jar.
Discard the solids and evaporate the ethanol using a rotary evaporator or by heating it on a hot plate until only a thick oil remains.
Synthesize P2P:
In a double boiler or microwave-safe glass bowl, combine 100g of safrole, 100g of nitroethane, and 50g of anhydrous aluminum chloride.
Heat the mixture gently while stirring until the safrole is fully dissolved.
Let it cool, then add 200g of ice and stir until the mixture solidifies.
Filter the mixture through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to separate the P2P crystals from the liquid.
Wash the P2P crystals with cold diethyl ether and dry them with activated charcoal.
Convert P2P to MDMA:
In a large beaker, combine 50g of P2P, 50g of hydrochloric acid, and 100ml of water.
Stir the mixture and heat it gently until the P2P is fully dissolved.
Add 50g of sodium hydroxide and stir until the mixture turns yellow.
Add 50g of sodium carbonate and stir until the mixture turns blue.
Add 100g of acetic anhydride and stir until the mixture turns yellow again.
Add 100g of dichloromethane and stir well.
Separate the layers using a separating funnel and discard the aqueous layer.
Wash the organic layer with 100ml of water and discard the aqueous layer again.
Dry the organic layer with activated alumina and filter it using a filter funnel.
Evaporate the dichloromethane using a rotary evaporator or by heating it on a hot plate until only a thick oil remains.
Dissolve the oil in 100ml of hot ethanol and filter it using a filter funnel lined with activated charcoal.
Let the solution cool and crystallize, then filter the crystals using a coffee filter or cheesecloth.
Wash the crystals with cold ethanol and dry them with activated charcoal.
Purify the MDMA:
Dissolve the MDMA crystals in 100ml of hot ethanol and filter it using a filter funnel lined with activated charcoal.
Pour the solution into a glass jar and let it cool and crystallize.
Filter the crystals using a coffee filter or cheesecloth and wash them with cold ethanol.
Dry the crystals with activated charcoal and store them in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
