sondheimer et al.

1g 4AD + 100mL chloroform + 10g MnO2 = test base 100% after 2 hours shaking at room temp

yield is 93% when crystalized with methanol and filtered on paper

MATERIALS: (check www.sciencelab.com i don't know if they are the cheapest, but they have everything)
beakers
hotplate with built in stirrer
stirring bars
distilled water
methanol
chloroform (can be cheaper grade)
thermometer (-10 to 150 degrees celcius, its like $4)
4AD powder
activated MnO2 (if this cannot be found, make your own from potassium permanganate and manganese sulfate. also need ether if you do this step)
filter paper
funnel (holds filter paper)
earlmeyer flask with vacuum tube out side for vacuum filtering
scale

now that is alot of MnO2 and it can be done with less. too simple you say, well your right its not that easy. the MnO2 available commercially is not always active. but the authors gave a method of preparing MnO2 that is easy and the product is very active and can be put in a stoppered jar with no loss of activity (those guys would make great homebrewers)

HOW TO MAKE MnO2:

take concentrated aqueous potassium permanganate and add to a stirred aqueous manganese sulfate solution kept at 90 degrees celcius (need a hot plate that has stirrer built in) until a slight excess was present (pink coloration of the supernatant liquid). stir at 90 degrees celcius for 15 minutes. filter, wash well with hot water, then methanol and ether. dry at 120 to 130 degrees celcius to a constant weight. it can be kept for several months in a well stoppered bottle with no loss of activity.

how to get concentrated aqueous potassium permanganate: take distilled water and and add potassium permanganate until not more goes into solution (this is where a magnetic stirrer comes in handy). if you added too much, just add more water until all is in solution. duh!

how to get aqueous manganese sulfate: same idea as above.

METHOD:

i am looking for a source of activated manganes dioxide so that the above does not need to be performed. once we get the manganes dioxide, all we have to do is mix the 4AD, MnO2 and chloroform in the ratios above, basically add the 4AD to chloroform on the magnetic stirrer and then add the MnO2 and leave it for 3 hours at room temp. add methanol to the solution and the test will crystalize and fall out of solution. filter and wash well with methanol. collect the filtrate and filter again on new filter paper and dry all the filter papers. if the filtrate still has crystals, filter with another paper. i would dry the first filter paper out well for a few days and weigh it. if its more than 80% yield, i wouldn't waste time trying to get the rest. if not, then take the filtrate and refilter to get rest of crystals. you kind of play it by ear. that's pretty much it.....oh yeah, don't forget to discard the powder properly as this is an experiment:rolleyes:

it is possible that much less MnO2 can be used. this will mean that the reaction will have to sit longer maybe a day or two, i don't really know. this will have to be found out. i want to try this in the lab where i can measure the ultraviolet spectrum to determine how long the complete reaction takes with different amounts of MnO2 and chloroform so as to minimize cost.

why did i not do it step by step? well if you can't figure it out, then you probably shouldn't be doing it.

THIS SHOULD WORK JUST THE SAME FOR 19nor4diol to NANDROLONE

ba-doop, ba-doop, that's all folks:D

cheers, pete

hmm, tempting me to try this instead of a syno conversion Pete. I'll wait though for other guinea pigs :D

Is there a way to find out if the mno2 at sciencelabs is active.. ie that would save alot of work lol

Stick to the syno pork. I don't think your chemistry level is above a bunsen burner. Looks like something for you lab geeks, speaking of which, why hasn't the biggest geek chimed in here yet?

lol, that's what I was thinking too :D

Funny, I got a D my first time in Chem 101, but the bunsen burners are just too fun to play with ;)

Doesn’t look too terribly technical. BTW, what’s a bunsen burner?

Although, if it works, might be an opportunity for someone to make and sell a kit…… for research purposes of course.

i have already contacted sciencelabs to see if they have active MnO2 or if they can get it at a reasonable cost. if you can get active MnO2, then it is jokes. all you do is mix the 4AD into the chloroform and add the MnO2 and stir it for a few hours. then add methanol to crystalize the test and filter it out. that's much simpler than the syno conversion. as for kits, what the **** for? you have to mix three things at room temp for about three hours and then add methanol, you get crystals, filter. it really can't get simpler than that. what i'm going to do that is more complicated is try to figure out how little MnO2 we can use and still get a complete reaction. this will make it cheaper, but we will probably have to let it sit overnight or something. the cool part is that the reaction is 100% specific and proceeds to completion. the 93% result obtained in the journal article is what was collected at the end as pure test base. even if we are sloppy, we should get better than 80%, if you're careful, there is no reason that you can't match the experimental results. like pat arnold said it is very easy. i'm quite sure that this is what he was talking about.

i'm going to be out for a week or two so y'all know why you won't be hearing from me for that time

cheers, pete

This looks very promising, has anyone checked on where to get active MnO2? This does look alot better than a syno kit. It should be cheaper, and if you don't get a high yield, you will have test base + 4-ad, no big deal, and no estrodiol.

Hmm, now it is really tempting Pete! If I can find out where to get active MnO2 quickly, I may be all over it! 4-ad at around $1/gram is damn cheap ;)

Great thread! My chemistry knowledge is pretty much nil. sciencelabs does have manganese dioxide reagent. Is this the active version?

The cheapest price I was able to find on a hot plate/stirrer was around $350. I was actually considering purchasing one for my "other experiments" before reading this thread. But that's pretty pricy. Anyone have any other suggestions that don't involve hiring an out of work baker with a propencity for stirring for days at a time.

if we can get MnO2, then a $70 stirrer would do the trick, as we do not need heat. see if you can buy an old one from a high school. i have not heard back from science labs. will post when i do.

Would anyone who has a stirrer or could pop for one be interested in maybe splitting the cost of a first "experimental" batch? Seems like buying the supplies in bulk looks alot cheaper, and you might have to get active MnO2 in bulk. For example, at sciencelab, chloroform: $19 for 100 ml, $25 for 500 ml.

would this be safe to use transdermally or injected?

with the chemical by products that it has the potential to produce, and the substances using to create it, i'm just wondering

my chemistry knowledge is definintely lacking, but i'm just wondering if some residiual chemicals left over from the process could stay in the batch and cause problems later when you try and use it in the real world

the crystals that are created shoudl be pure test .. so no need to worry about by products thats why u "wash" it with methanol..

Maybe I'm not doing my math right, but at 19.53 for the 100 ml required to produce less than 1 gram of test base, and adding the cost of the Mn02, it seems that we would easily be in the $20 per gram range which is substantially higher than what it would cost to by the test base itself.

Am I wrong on this?

Based on my math (using Sciencelab’s pricing)

Price/Gram of manganese dioxide (MnO2) - $.016/gram
Price/mL of Chloroform - $.0517/mL

At $1/gram for 4 AD, and using the equation

1g 4AD + 100mL chloroform + 10g MnO2

The price should be:

1g-4AD x (1$/gram) + 100mL-Chlorofrom x ($.0517/mL) + 10g-MnO2 x (.016) = $6.33 for a 93% yield

Thus, the price per gram is approx $6.8/gram

The synovex conversion cost me approx $7/gram for materials.

Of course, this assume Sicenclab’s manganese dioxide is active.

500ml for $25 would be $5 per gram plus the 4ad. But do you need 100ml for each gram?

firmly agree with u on that one..ur numbers up u can do nothing about it..sars is non treatable..why take unnecessary chances..not affraid to live my life just not ordering from china for any gear parts for a long long time

me too as i never ever get sick,heard a lady in the liquor store the other day tell everyone in there that they would be going to hell because they had not accepted god as the lord and saviour because they were drinking..what she was doing in a liquor then i have no idea i myself was gambling buying lotto tickets..lmao.crazy crazy world..but it keeps it interesting

I have one source with test base, and it was $12 a gram!!!! :mad: So needless to say, if I can get for around $5-8 for a trans, than I'm down. :)

I've not seen credible reports that SARS is so robust as to survive the trip over in a box.
Anyway, test susp has such problems associated with it that I can't imagine anyone wanting to shoot it...now, nandrolone susp...anyone have any comments on the usage of such a compound?

sars is non treatable..
Well this isn't entirely true. It is treatable as long as it's caught early enough. Second, it's only killing old people, children, and people with preconditions. Anotherwords the weak. Healthy people don't have much to worry about, even if you do get it you CAN be treated for it. I live in Toronto where there is a current outbreak and you wouldn't know it walking down the street. You only have to worry really if you're visiting a hospital and they MAKE you wear a mask before entering. Right now almost all the people who have it are patients already in a hospital and the health care workers who are exposed to it daily, mainly before they started wearing protection. I'm with kitchen, I don't worry about it at all. I'm healthy and I just avoid hospitals, unless I'm sick ;).

From what I've read, has a 4% mortality rate. Mostly elderly and chilren are ones at risk of death, someone correct me.
