CHX-Br

CHX-Br is short for cyclohexyl bromide (or CycloHeXyl Bromide). Cyclohexyl bromide can react with sodium ethoxide (NaOEt) and ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) to form Ethyl 2-cyclohexyl-3-oxobutanoate. Then react with hydrochloric acid to get 2-cyclohexyl-3-oxobutanoic acid. Heating it up will get you Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone (CHX2P, Cyclohyxylacetone) , a useful intermediate in the synthesis of Propylhexedrine, and carbon dioxide as a side product. Propylhexedrine is good orally in doses of 60mg to 180mg+ to decongest the nose, as a pre-workout, and to lose weight. Cyclohexyl bromide can also undergo other chemical reactions such as turning it into Cyclohexyl magnesium bromide and reacting it with Propyl chloride to get 1-cyclohexylpropane (unless there's rearrangement to 2-cyclohexylpropane).

Tony: I synthesized Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone (CHX2P) using CHX-Br and ethyl acetoacetate.

Mod Head

A Mod Head is someone who takes Modafinil. The dose range for Modafinil is 100mg to 200mg. Sometimes, a Mod Head can also refer to someone who takes Armodafinil. Armodafinil's dose range is 75mg to 150mg. Modafinil and Armodafinil are wakefulness enhancers (eugeroic). They wake you up even though they don't give you much energy. You feel awake and refreshed as if you had a good night's sleep.

Steve: *Takes a 200mg Modafinil pill. I feel awake.

*Does office work
Steve: This Modafinil is great!
Stan: Lucky Mod Head! I wish I had Modafinil!

This feels a little light

When someone gives you a bag of groceries and it feels like there's a few things missing because the bag feels a little light. So you go back to get the rest of the groceries. When someone hands you speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine) after you paid money and the gram of speed feels a little light more like two thirds of a gram to three quarters of a gram. So you weigh it and demand the rest, and they give you more. Or if you're buying 5 dollars of cheddar cheese and it feels more like 3 or 4 dollars of cheddar cheese so you ask for more. When you're in college studying organic chemistry, mathematics, history, geology, and you forgot a book because the bookbag feels a little light. When you make money selling coffee and the stack of money they pay you feels a little light today. When you ask a friend for half the energy drink and they only give you a third and you say this feels a little light, so they pour more. It means it's not enough or something is missing.

Tony: You got the 40 of those 100mg Flodafinil pills.

Steve: Sure.

Tony: *Hands money.
Steve: *Hands Flodafinil pills.

Tony: This feels a little light! Are you jacking me?!
Steve: Hands over the 3 he was taking from Tony that he planned to do later.

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.

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.

Vitamin P

Vitamin P is short for Propylhexedrine salts. It could be Propylhexedrine Acetate, Propylhexedrine Carbonate, or Propylhexedrine HCl.

Vitamin P (Propylhexedrine HCl) makes cleaning a breeze! Even studying and homework a breeze!
