Benzyl chloride

Benzyl chloride (BnCl) is a molecule that is a used to make pharmaceuticals and can also be used to make Phenyl-2-Propanone. Benzyl chloride is synthesized from toluene (benzyl hydride) by chlorination with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide as a catalyst. The lithium bromide makes it so that you get benzyl chloride in hours instead of days. Phenyl-2-Propanone is synthesized by adding benzyl chloride in diethyl ether (or even better, dibutyl ether for higher yield) and adding magnesium turnings. You make benzyl magnesium chloride. Then you react it with acetonitrile and then do a hydrochloric acid work-up to get Phenyl-2-Propanone.

I reacted toluene (benzyl hydride, paint thinner) with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide catalyst and got benzyl chloride in a matter of hours.

Vitamin E2

Vitamin E2 is slang for Ethylamphetamine (especially blue speed, blue Ethylamphetamine). Ethylamphetamine is a stimulant that helps you study, help you concentrate, remember more thing, boosts confidence, give you physical and mental energy, make you talk more and faster, and if you have ADHD it can help you relax.

Tony: I took 25mg Vitamin E2 to exercise. They're grreeeeat!

Blue N-Methyl-Modafinil

Blue N-Methyl-Modafinil is N-Methyl-Modafinil powder or pills which are blue. It's similar to Adrafinil, Modafinil, Armodafinil, Fladrafinil, Flodafinil (Flmodafinil), Hydrafinil (Fluorenol), Wakix, and Sunosi.

Tony: I tried 200mg of N-Methyl-Modafinil and was focusing on my homework and then cleaned and played videogames for 12+ hours. Then I showered, ate, and slept 5 hours and woke up feeling refreshed. Thanks Blue N-Methyl-Modafinil.

Diethyl ether

Diethyl ether is a solvent that is useful for grignard reactions. It's also an anesthetic. Diethyl ether is highly flammable (even electrical outlets and too high temperatures can ignite it. Diethyl ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene to avoid peroxide products which are explosive. Diethyl ether is also sometimes used for extractions, but other solvents like ethyl chloride, chloroform, toluene, hexane, and dichloromethane are generally preferred. Diethyl ether is synthesized by reacting ethanol with sulfuric acid. This reaction must be carried out at temperatures lower than 150 °C in order to ensure that an elimination product (ethylene) is not a product of the reaction. At higher temperatures, ethanol will dehydrate to form ethylene. The reaction to make diethyl ether is reversible, so eventually an equilibrium between reactants and products is achieved. Getting a good yield of ether requires that ether be distilled out of the reaction mixture before it reverts to ethanol.

Vitamin P

Vitamin P is Propylhexedrine. Propylhexedrine freebase, Propylhexedrine Acetate, Propylhexedrine Citrate, Propylhexedrine Carbonate, and Propylhexedrine HCl.

I took 175mg of Vitamin P (Propylhexedrine Acetate) and cleaned for 5 hours.

Molly

Used to refer to MDMA, but now refers to a variety of MDxx chemicals combined with a low dose of 2C-I(although not to all MDxx). Molly refers to MDxx which turns purple during a Marquis regent test. The low dose of 2C-I is usually added because 2C-I's a strong clean safe stimulant at low doses (usually because with the exception of MDMA, all MDxx class of compounds have less stimulant effects). Molly has euphoric effects that affects norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. It's usually found in the form of crystals, in ecstasy pills, and in powdered form in capsules. Molly and safrole are becoming rarer and rarer.

Dude 1:Where's the molly.
*ten years later*
Dude 1:Yes! Finally! I finally got the molly! This rave is rolling!

TP-MeMgCl

TP-MeMgCl is ThioPhenyl-MethylMagnesium Chloride, or Chloro(2-thienylmethyl)magnesium.

Molecular Formula

C5H5ClMgS

Timothy: I synthesized TP-MeMgCl by adding magnesium turnings in anhydrous dibutyl ether with ultrasound and reacted it with acetonitrile and hydrolyzed it with hydrochloric acid to yield TP2P (ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone, 2-Thienylacetone).
