- Hello everyone. Today we make Safrole which is commonly used in a controlled substance synthetic pathway. While it's not technically illegal, large amounts of this are suspicious and the DEA will like really not like that vibe. Hope you enjoy the video!

I really do feel like chemical restrictions are way over the top at this point. None of this seems to noticably stop any criminal activity, but it does crush amateur chemistry absolutely.
So much of what is banned is basic building blocks of chemical synthesis. Acids, basic lab equipment, even elements like bromine or iodine.
None of that gets seen as a downside, because the effects are not immediately visible, but they render it impossible to exercise your curiosity and scientific interest in one of the major scientific disciplines, chemistry, and you drive a society towards a path where science isn't understood or respected.
I think the rejection of science is at least partly a result of restrictions like these, stifling natural curiosity, and leading to anti-intellectuallism.
I wonder how many new inventions per year don't happen because of this. So many of the great things we discovered over the years happened coincidentally by people just messing around. It's no longer possible.
The entire war on drugs is complete failure. No cartel violence has been stopped by banning MDMA/LSD/etc, no fentanyl overdoses, no lives ruined by heroin. You can say even less for banning amateur chemistry. All these laws have done have caused suffering, and ensure America has a morally repulsive private prison (slave) industry. The only approaches that have worked for dealing with drugs, are ones that come at it from a compassionate stand - therapy, harm reduction, etc
Much like the red scare, the war on drugs was cooked up by a bunch of short-sighted, ignorant, moral-panicking conservatives who had no business making decisions at a government level.
And yet people keep voting them in.
@@YouCanHasAccount I enjoyed chemistry as a child and teenager. Now I only watch videos occasionally. I must say that the effort to limit is appalling. Rather than inventions, I wonder how many young people don't get into chemistry at all because it's difficult to get started. My path went elsewhere, but as a child I discovered a box with some laboratory glassware, and I bought everything in the ordinary village drugstore without any problems. It is no longer possible to buy half of it (in the EU) because of the fight against terrorists and drugs. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
You can make meth out of Legos if you have enough chemistry knowledge. Prohibition doesn’t work, just let pharma companies sell everything to anyone. That would make more money (in terms of GDP) than jailing people.
Its the same everywhere.

Yay for root beer! DEA ruined root beer by restricting the main ingredient and forcing crappy substitutes on us.
The same kind of thinking that gave us fentanyl
@@John_Candy the DEA will be looked at as draconian and stupid as the lobotomy in history books decades from now
I don’t know if you can blame the DEA here for once. The FDA banned safrole in food in 1960. It caused cancer in rats but in such huge doses banning it was probably unnecessary. MDMA didn’t really pop off until the 70’s and 80’s, and wasn’t made illegal until 1985.
Root beer hasn't been root beer since before the DEA existed. It was discovered in the 60's the drinking sasafras oil would cause stomach cancer.

Chem is just amazing! Not sure why I can spend hour upon hour of watching videos of reactions, distillations, washing, baths, and stir bars spinning. Just brings me joy and peace for some reason. Makes me wish I had become a Chemist, and not a Cyber Security "expert".
Please don't distil diethyl ether like that...
I dude from my lab turned into the ghost rider doing something similar...
he's okay, only minor burns...
But given that he was fully engulfed in flames (head to toe), it could have gone alot worse.
So, stay safe.

Its ok my guy, your lab partner must have just had down syndrome if there is any real truth to that story, which I suspect there is not as you are just regurgitating armchair chemist fear mongering with little to no valid reasoning. Tell me, dont distil it like what? Huh? You trying to tell people to never distill Ether ? What should he do? Air it into the room? Splash it onto a window and lick it?
Then stop whining it only will cause minor burns and those are not a major deal.
how should it be distilled?
Your video quality jumped up a lot man. Very well done

@@billant2 LOLLLL
I wish I was capable of understanding any of this.
Oh dear, you just experienced the joy of playing with catechols; they oxidize and polymerize every chance they get... You're probably oxidizing a bunch of it since catechols are VERY easily oxidized in basic media and Al3+ has also been show to increase the rate of oxidation under acidic conditions. Even in rigourously deoxygenated conditions, a tiny amount of ortho-quinone impurities in you catechol coming from air oxidation can comproportionate with the catechol during the reaction and form 2 equivalents of semi-quinone radicals, which can initiate radical polymerization. This would also explain all the weirdly colored oils you observed.
This guy is probably a moron and has no idea He needs about 25 more years before he gets to being smart
Isn't it better to introduce the AlCl3 over a period of time as well? Also, the BP of the solvent matters. I believe chlorobenzene yields higher, and a good second best is DCE.
I just liked it bc I wanted to look like I understood a word of any of that
I could never do these things, and don't fully understand, but I love watching videos like this and NileRed. It's fascinating.
Molecular sieves are best used for polishing water content when you make anhydrous solvents, and they need time, like 24 hours minimum. Using them for drying the organic phase after extraction is a bit of waste of them, believe me, you won't see a big difference with such short drying between anhydrous sodium/magnesium sulfate and a mix of it with sieves.
Besides that, great chem! I love the mechanism part ;)
Keep on cooking!
When steam distilling it, I have noticed I have a TON of losses when my condenser water is too cold. I have to turn off the water occasionally let the steam creep up and melt it off. Also, it really likes ethyl acetate as a solvent. Save your ether!
I had no idea of anything you were saying, but couldn’t stop watching.
Same here.
If I was 50 years younger I'd definitely study chemistry.
The older I get the more interesting the subject becomes.
You can always start at any age :)
Same!
a brine wash before adding any drying agent is a good habit to build, you find most of the water is removed and you barley need to add any drying agent! also dissolving the crude material in a small amount of solvent and transferring to a vile makes for an easier transfer later on, saves washing your pipettes out and improves yield! Love your stuff dude, keep it up!
Thank you! I was following the procedure as close as possible, but a brine wash would be a good idea too!
The synthesis for MDA is easier than MDMA from saffrole, and back when the DEA caught wind of this I believe majority of the use for saffrole was making MDA not MDMA, hence MDA is sometimes known as Sassafrass or Sally (kind of a play on Molly)
I'd heard "Sally" but that person also used "Mustang" to describe MDMA and I figured that was as deep as the name went.

You should invest in TLC plates so you don't have to decide on a random reaction time. Also, a future update with an NMR or IR spectrum (former preferred but more expensive) would be desirable. The secret to good yields is (usually) purity. Pyridine looked too dirty; you could've distilled and dried it before use; AlCl3 seemed too yellow. Also, deciding upon a purification method beforehand is desirable so that messing around with different methods won't eat your yield. But still, these are just suggestions.

@@bval2201(sound of crickets)
@@bval2201I see you commented a lot on this video, especially in a rude way. Access to NMR, FTIR, GC-MS are harder to come by as a at home amateur chemist. So determining structure, impurities, etc can be more of a challenge. I am about to graduate with a B.S in biochemistry and plan to go to grad school so you’re incorrect about knowing “jackshit”. I do not go super in depth about everything as there are people who might not have that level of knowledge. I also actively study, read papers, etc. to build my knowledge but of course I still have so much to learn. Rather than just leave hateful comments, it’s more constructive to give constructive criticism. I’m not gonna block you commenting on this channel, but I want you to think about how you are presenting yourself to others.
@@chemdelic You know what..... You are right! I apologize. You are a smart guy and you are doing a great job at these videos. Something about the video triggered a memory of my past and the hate I had for the DEA agents and that was projected toward you foolishly. I see an old version of myself in the way you speak
I am a biochemical engineer, organic chemist, cosmetic chemist and product formulator. I finally clawed my way back and have several patents and a legitimate company now but almost whet to jail. I was a "big time" clandestine chemist. Undetectable PEDs for NFL teams and piperazine derivative stimulants, etc etc Think big time as metric ton quantity purchases from sinochem Jiangsu CHINA and multi 50L reactor synthesis often. Made all of the watched chemicals benzyl chloride etc and all of these chems were of my design... Totally off the radar of Fed's.... For awhile lol.
DEA made a mistake and tried to analog statute me. They said something was 10 times more powerful than meth when it was 10 times less... real idiots. Buttttt they still knocked down the front door and ruined my life.. temporarily...
Someone, not me, spent a decade of spare time designing low/undetectable chemical and bioweapons to unleash on the agents for their bullshiit to avenge. Real good stuff... next level shit. They even got all of the agents home addresses, I heard, after years of networking, I can't say how to get all these people's home addresses just in case somebody reads it and uses it, but let's just say Chance favors the prepared mind. It would have been an unprecedented reversal of fortune for some people and would have been front page news lol. But, I heard about what they were planning :) and convinced them that there's no need to avenge me. That my troubles were my own fault and not the agents. So they gave it up and I decided to make cool legal chemical business'.
So I say this as a warning, I have guys still following me 20 years later. I'm not kidding you. No they're not following me everyday but every year or so I catch dudes, most likely DEA or FBI agents, following me to see what I'm up to see if I'm staying clean or designing the synthesis of meth, MDMA or fentanyl from undetectable gas phase catylic synthesis using ethane, nitrogen and hydrogen with catalysts like Platinum, nickel, vanadium pendoxide, zeolite, chromium, molybdenum etc. :) once you buy one watched chemical they always watch you and your internet connection. They will let years go by before they arrest you so that they can build up a network of who you're working with. If you don't ever want to get caught gas phase synthesis of all materials from day one!!!!!

It irritates me greatly that I'd need to import sassafras oil (for culinary use... the amounts I'd use are so small that any illicit use would be infeasible in any case). Birch oil is available but a very poor substitute. The DEA would regulate carbon atoms if they could...
Fun story: I once trolled the DEA by asking them about the legalities of buying street meth and converting it into pseudoephedrine because I objected to the identification demand (the pharmacy fills my (actual) narcotics prescriptions without batting an eye.. go figure). They responded humorlessly that since I'd need to possess the methamphetamine I'd be breaking the law. I replied "OK; I won't help you get meth off the street, though you obviously can't do your job yourselves" -- I won't say it's connected, but since this exchange I am "randomly" selected for secondary airport screening much more than statistically plausible.
Just bring extra flowers and candy for them .
They LOVE that shit .
You "Asked the DEA...?" What does that even mean?
@@MemphisGRIZ901 I emailed them, asking what I related. They responded humorlessly, also by email. I refuse to show identification for something ostensibly OTC. Fortunately I seldom need decongestants.
Sounds like making a mountain out of a mole hill. Showing ID takes 2 seconds. Raising dea and transportation authority and whoever else eyebrows with your email seems to be more disruptive to you (eg secondary holds on flights where you also need to show same ID). Ps of course they don't respond with sarcasm or memes, it's in writing from federal employee and is about you purchasing and posessing meth

Great video, I figured that a way to synthesize the methylene dioxy bridge had been discovered when the price of MDMA crashed 16 or so years ago. A question that could be a video possibly... my pet hamster found that dissolving street cocaine hydrochloride in room temp dry isopropanol dumped out the good salt while dissolving the contaminants. Another hamster suggested that isopropanol would react with the good salt, and my hamster found that around 60 degs C this would be the case. Luckily my pet hamster isn't into crack as such a discovery would have made a real mess of his life. Am I seeking confirmation of this method? I have no idea, I just think its fun to play around with these things and see what gives.

Ehhh.... on a slightly different kick, you can just use sesame seed oil to make sesamol, which is actually better for some synthesis then Saffrole.
The easiest way is to simply heat the oil in air until it hits it's smoke point and the sesamol begins to naturally accumulate in the oil.
DEA loves this substance, gives them something to do and funding.

Aluminum chloride doesn't directly demethylate the methoxy group in eugenol. Instead, aluminum chloride could facilitate the electrophilic aromatic substitution of the allyl group but not directly remove the methoxy group.. Also the formation of the methylenedioxy bridge (methyleneation) typically requires a different reagent, such as formaldehyde and a strong base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) or a specific methylene transfer reagent like dichloromethane in the presence of a base like K2CO3 can work but usually in different conditions.
bro critical thought this entire process by not just digging up sassafras root

How many precursors can I watch be made with zero chemistry experience before I wind up on a watchlist? 🤔 can’t recreate any of this but it’s mad fun to watch 🤷🏽♂️
pretty sure the search itself is where it starts lol
I would never synth something from youtube lol but this is still interesting to learn how you started the process, anything in theory with the chain you want could make something else
Idk if safrole itself might be a good flavoring agent for a fun food project.. I've been thinking about good smelling but probably never considered as spice plants like kavakava and sassafras. I think a marshmallow infused with the leaf aroma of either kava plant or even sassafras leaf into a marshmallow or souffle or even marshmallow souffle pancakes with either or both aromas I fused into it or them might be devilishly delicious. And where are THOSE jellybeans???
Uh oh! You put the double bond in the wrong place silly goose! That olefin is gonna substitute in the terminal carbon if you react it with HBr! Now you'll have to reflux it with potassium tert-butoxide over molecular sieves to scooch it over, then you can substitute at the alpha position 😊

Are these precursors expensive or something? What makes this one less profitable I'm curious
A lot of steps, a lot of reagents and solvents, a lot of time, low yield, which will give you, after 3 more steps ....i guess, just 2 pills.
they've really adapted in the last decade ish. always have, but man kudos to them. they watched breaking bad & knew they could up their game. so they did.

Use vacuum distillation for chems like these. Add s little penut oil and perlite to start. Your saffrole will be a very refractive water clear liquid.
Really hyped for the nextr video
Nice job! I thoroughly enjoyed this! You are a great chemist! Thank you!
Bro, when it sets pure safrole crystalizes rather easily. Once it crystalizes you gotta put energy in to get it back to an oil, more than room temperature. Wayyyy back in the day, far past the statute of limitations, I use to steam distill decent amounts of this stuff from root and with a flick of the cryst from a prior batch and a little refrigeration you can get really pure Safrole. I suspect its what you see in your flask there and not impurities but its hard to see if there are crystals there.
I might get diarrea from it
I’d like to see you make triclosan. Since it’s been banned from soaps, it may be a fun project.
We manage to get a flask of several imported. However, when I analysed at the University labs, it was only 92%. After asking friend about this, before proceeding further, he would always talk rational distillation to take out impurities like pipradol et cetera. Apparently, it has a tendency to turn into isomers or oxidise, hence should always be cleaned before proceeding to animating. Eug-ol is also oil of cloves, available asset type of anaesthetic for toothache, rather horrific tasting. Can also be obtained through steam displeasing although very pungent. Some people have also tried selling sassafras oil as liquid B, and kind of works, however is slightly carcinogenic, so not recommended.
we should get a psyched substance collab where he tries your sass
You can buy safrole incredibly cheaply online though, at least in my country. Maybe one day I will attempt the synthesis of MDA from it, but the equipment required is pretty pricey for the average enthusiast.
Edit: my bad I got it confused with piperonal.
