Acetylation with acetic anhydride ive always seen take place on freebase compounds.
And no one has been able to tell me otherwise... but ive got a USP pharmaceuticul grade compound that is usually acetylated as its freebase. However
since its in its pure state but has a sulphate attached to it, can that be used directly in an acetylation?

Why not convert to the freebase form? This is done I believe with ammonia; If i'm wrong please correct me with a minimum of flaming :p
PS, you may have better luck asking at www.wetdreams.ws

well that is certainly possible, i was just wondering if it was possible. It would save alot of hassle because the acetylation requires anhydrous
conditions so im trying to avoid using water at all.

Is this a di-acetylation by any chance?
conducter - 8-11-2007 at 18:02
yes, but not of any illegal compounds.

a diactylation of a pharmaceutical sulfate that is not an illegal compound? I guess not if you have a prescription. Around here those are three
pages. ahem! Also, if you can't liberate a freebase you better stay away from acetylations. The one you're thinking of is notorious for fires and
explosions.
anyway, go here: www.wetdreams.ws

Unless you name the actual compound, I'm gonna close this for being a drug thread.

lol, since when is aspirin a sulfate salt
conducter - 9-11-2007 at 17:52
haha well i guess its all just hypothetical then...

Haha. Thread closed.
Take your cooking bussiness elsewhere.
