      Safrole from dill or persilia.  Bookmark   

Here are some interesting compounds which would be easy to turn to psykoactive compounds:

../rhodium /yadontsay/index.html

Is it possible to remove the methoxy groups of apiole or myrstine without harming the rest of the molocule, and get safrole?
Has anyone yet tried to brominate eugenol and then aminate or methylaminate it? Would this compound be psykoactive?
I donīt think itīs writen anything about it i Phikaal...
If you take some ESTRAGOLE or CHAVICOL and take away the methoxygroup/hydroxy group you will get allylbenzen which could easy ge turned to Amphetamine or Meth!
What yeld is to be expected in a BOMB amination ,are there any survivors here to tell me about it  ..?laugh

No. You can remove the methyl group to get a phenol but there is no way to get rid of the oxygen.

Has anyone yet tried to brominate eugenol and then aminate or methylaminate it? Would this compound be psykoactive?
The free phenol should make this inactive.

Again, there is no way to get rid of the hydroxy.

Well, there ARE ways, but they are very involved, sometimes low-yielding, producing the wrong product, use strange, expensive or difficult to get chems, unsuitable reaction conditions for most bees, and so on.
One example is using potassium metal, I've seen an olivetol (THC precursor) synthesis where potassium ripped a MeO right off the benzene ring. But I don't know how general this reaction is.

how many distinctively different olivetol synths are there? (by general methods)

Osmium: I believe that reaction only works for methoxies situated between two other methoxy groups according to the work of Ugo Azzena.

Obituary: For a collection of olivetol syntheses, look in ../rhodium /psychedelicchemistry.txt and also in ../rhodium /thc/index.html

Obit
I have an interesting paper on synthing olivetol and other beginnings to THC analogs, tho it cannot produce some of the most interesting branched compounds to make the superduper THC.  I am almost certain the methodology is different from any of those in the THC review on Rhodium page. 
I post it when I have time.
I wish there was an easy way to pull text out of PDF files.

From "Ya don't say": (Looks strange to see SWIM instead of Strike....)
[i]
MYRISTICIN: The grandaddy of the pshychedelic amphetamine genre (by the way, SWIM does not consider X to be a psychedelic). This sucker is in carrots, sassafras oil, in about 8% in nutmeg oil and (hold on to your hats) about 90% of the oil in ordinary parsley leaves. Yes, that same shit on your dinner plate.

OK, so (yes, I remember the whole thread on apiole) would anyone care to tell me what percentage (pref. by weight) of parsley leaves the oil is? Great if it's mostly oil, otherwise not.

Same thing for dill seed / parsley SEED oil - how much of a seed is OIL? I imagine there's a lot of plant matter in there...

actually parsley leaves and especially the seeds should both be high in oils- besides as cheap as parsley is (esp. if you tend a garden) how can you complain?!?!

Get some good OCR software. I like OmniPage v11. It will take scanner input, GIFs, even PDF and plonk out raw text.

Many of the warez sites/newsgroups will have OmniPage.

Let google do it for you. They reference and display even PDF files as regular text.

Acrobat distiller - I think - saves to .RTF & text format but again - get it from a warez site.

OCR - download FineReader 5 from their site then get the crack on the net. It has a very large selection of languages - useful when OCRing foreign language texts - which can then be put into babelfish!!

      Unfortunately not that much  Bookmark   

The essential oil in the parsley fruits might sometimes reach such a high myristicin content, but the leaves contain much less, about 20-30% or so.
