GHB-->GBL | ||||||
Will a strong acid convert GHB--->GBL??? SWIM is deviseing a clean-up procedure for gheto GHB. If this reactor goes a short series of solvent/water extractions while converting the corresponding compounds should effectively clean up ghetto GHB. Is there any other simple way to go from GHB-->GBL??? Foxy Out |

Re: GHB-->GBL | ||||||
Thank You Very Much Rhodium Hey Cheapskate, Q981?, and other GHB researchers This would be a great clean up method 1. Form GBL 2. Extract with CH2Cl2, and wash with slightly acidic H2O 3. Convert to GHB with basic H2O 4. Ensure complete separation to H2O 5. Separate aqueous and hydrophobic phases 6. Wash H2O/GHB mixture with hydrophobic (experiment to see what takes the most crap out) 7. Repeat or Isolate product when purity is up to your specifications It reminds me of an Acid/Base extraction only a little trickier, but im sure cheapskate is up to the task Well thats my contribution for the week ![]() Foxy Out |

Convenient Synthesis of γ-Butyrolactone (Rated as: good read) |
||||||
Convenient Synthesis of a Lactone, γ-Butyrolactone Richard E. Bozak, J. Knittel, and Ronald J. Hicks Journal of Chemical Education 75(1), 84 (1998) Lactones are cyclic esters. They are claimed to be most stable when the ring is either 5- or 6-membered1. While lactones are usually ignored in first-year organic chemistry, this experiment shows that they might have some pedagogical virtues. The starting material in this student-oriented microscale experiment is a commercially available salt2. Also, the boiling point is noteworthy in that the open-chain form, ethyl acetate, has a boiling point of 77°C, whereas the ring form boils at 206°C! One might ideally end this experiment with a vacuum distillation3. In our hands, the KBr pellet IR spectrum had its C=O stretch at 1763 cm-1. Procedure Place 1.5 g (11.9 mmol) of γ-hydroxybutyric acid sodium salt4 into a 5-mL conical vial that contains a spin vane. Carefully add 1.5 mL of 9 M H2SO4, attach an air condenser, and reflux the mixture for 15 minutes. Upon cooling, crystals of sodium sulfate may form. Extract the reaction mixture with 1.5 mL of CH2Cl2. Shake well with frequent venting. Allow the phases to separate and transfer the upper layer, using a filter-tip pipet, to a glass centrifuge tube. Repeat the extraction with a second 1.5 mL portion of CH2Cl2 and transfer the upper layer to the centrifuge tube as before. Dry the organic phase in the corked centrifuge tube with three microscoopula tips (about 0.25 g) of anhydrous Na2SO4 (at least 15 minutes). Transfer the dried CH2Cl2/lactone extract, using a clean filter-tip pipet, to a pre-weighed vial. Evaporate the CH2Cl2 using a hot-plate and a gentle stream of N2 until the weight of the vial and liquid remains constant, then re-weigh. Determine the percent yield in the usual manner, obtain an IR spectrum, and compare it to an authentic IR spectrum of γ-butyrolactone. Literature Cited 1. Roberts, J. D.; Caserio, M. C.

Wrong direction | ||||||
Why take it that direction when it's already in the salt form? Act quickly or not at all. |

Purification. | ||||||
I believe the intention was to purify "ghetto GHB" and a convenient way to do it is to convert the salt into the lactone and distill it. Perhaps? :) |

Turn it around and read | ||||||
Perhaps it was with an educational intent. A paper from the Journal of Chemical Education might bee educational for bees too even though the (bee)wanted product is actually the precursor and the precursor a (bee)wanted product. ![]() “The real drug-problem is that we need more and better drugs.” – J.

GBL legally allowed | ||||||
Maybe this bee just wants to be on the save side ? After all, GHB is something you´re not suppose to have ![]() A little poison now and then: that makes for agreeable dreams. |

distillation | ||||||
Convert GHB*Na to GBL by refluxing in dilute mineral acid, concentrate to 1/2 volume under vacuum, extract remainder at least five times with twice its amount of CHCl2, combine extracts, dry, remove solvent in a rotovap and vacuum distill the remaining GBL, then follow the usual procedure to get GHB*X again... (outstanding purity guaranteed! ![]() Greetz A Pleased to meet you hope you get my name. But whats puzzlin you is the nature of my game! |
