2-chloromethylthiophene

2-Chloromethylthiophene is used as an intermediate to 1-(2-thienyl)-2-Propanone.

In a 2-l. beaker surrounded by an ice-salt bath , and fitted with a mechanical stirrer and a thermometer, are placed 420 g. (392 ml., 5 moles) of thiophene and 200 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. A rapid stream of hydrogen chloride is passed continuously into the mixture with vigorous stirring. When the temperature reaches 0°, 500 ml. of 37% formaldehyde solution is added at a rate that will permit the temperature to remain below 5°. The addition requires about 4 hours. When all the formaldehyde solution has been added, the mixture is extracted with three 500-ml. portions of ether. The ether extracts are combined, washed successively with water and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and then dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. The solvent is removed by distillation, and the product is distilled under reduced pressure through a 50-cm. fractionating column. The product boiling at 73–75°/17 mm. is collected. The yield is 257–267 g. (40–41%) of a colorless oily liquid.

I synthesized 2-chloromethylthiophene from thiophene, concentrated hydrochloric acid, and formaldehyde.

TP-Br

TP-Br is 2-ThioPhenyl Bromide. TP-Br (2-ThioPhenyl Bromide, 2-thienylbromide, and 2-Bromothiophene) can be synthesized by bromination of Thiophene (TP-H, ThioPhenyl Hydride) with bromine in Carbon Tetrachloride. TP-Br is used as an intermediate to synthesize TP2P (ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone) by reacting it with ethyl acetoacetate and sodium ethoxide and CuI (Copper iodide) catalyst.

I synthesized TP2P using the TP-Br and ethyl acetoacetate.

Sodium Thioglycolate

Sodium Thioglycolate is a chemical used in some hair products and also in the intermediate of the synthesis of Modafinil, Adrafinil, and N-Methyl-Modafinil. Sodium Thioglycolate is synthesized from Thioglycolic acid and sodium hydroxide and then you boil it and then let it dry in a vacuum chamber to eliminate water.

Tony: I synthesized sodium thioglycolate from thioglycolic acid and sodium hydroxide.

Ethyl Chloride

Ethyl chloride (EtCl, Chloroethane), is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3CH2Cl, once widely used in producing tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive. It is a colorless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor. Ethyl chloride is a lab solvent and an intermediate in the synthesis of 2-methyl-2-butanol through the formation of the grignard reagent, ethyl magnesium chloride and a grignard reaction with acetone, followed by hydrochloric acid work-up to yield 2-methyl-2-butanol. Ethyl chloride is synthesized by reacting ethanol with hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride catalyst. Ethyl chloride can also be used along with calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide to extract freebase arecoline out of the betel nut. Then react it with HBr (Hydrogen Bromide) to get Arecoline Hydrobromide.

I reacted ethanol with hydrochloric acid and a zinc chloride catalyst. I got ethyl chloride. I then extracted freebase arecoline from the betel nut and reacted it with hydrogen bromide gas to get Arecoline Hydrobromide.

I took some ethyl chloride and added anhydrous diethyl ether and magnesium turnings to get ethyl magnesium chloride. Then I reacted the Et-MgCl (ethyl magnesium chloride) with acetone. Then I took the 2m2bO-MgCl (2-methyl-2-butoxymagnesium chloride) and reacted it with hydrochloric acid to get 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Euchemics

Euchemics is the belief and/or practice of improving the quality of the human population(sometimes, even to the point of upgrading people to become superhuman) through designer drugs, anti anxiety drugs, safe stimulants, medicines, certain psychedelics, Nootropics, and research chemicals in combination with a healthy lifestyle. It's upgrading humanity, sometimes to the point of becoming superhuman. It is a social philosophy advocating the improvement of human life through responsible use of non-toxic drugs to achieve higher intelligence, treat mental illnesses, increasing strength, increasing life-span, curing deseases, and the ultimate goal of near indestructability. Also to reduce the number of people who use toxic drugs by educating society to say no to toxic drugs and using non-toxic drugs as an alternative. The ultimate goal of euchemics is achieving near indestructability. Side goals of euchemics include, super happiness, societal peace, superpowers, superhuman intelligence, ect.

Dude 1: I just consumed a small amount of GBL to deal with anxiety.
Chick 1: I consumed prolintane, phenylpiracetam and fluorenol to help me study.
Dude 2: I mixed cyclohexylaminopropane in this juice I drank to run the 3 K race.
All three: We upgraded ourselves with euchemics. All right!

Nootropics

Nootropics are smart drugs with little to no side effects. Effects range from increasing social skills and mild entactogenic empathogenic effects , to improving memory and focus, to relaxation and anxiety relief, to wakefulness enhancers, to stimulants stacked with Tropoflavin to prevent brain damage, to BDNF inducers (grows more brain cells), to pills that help you reduce the negative feelings from past memories (especially traumatic ones). Cholinergics and other groups are also in there.

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!
