Yeah, this is also well known to me. In USA you can buy drain cleaners with H2SO4 anywhere, but not here in the EU, but there is probably something
that is easier to get here than in the US. You just can't get all of the chemicals in one country.

I can get potassium nitrate at a home depot like store called Lowes, sorry I am never sure what store names are national and which arent but you can
get stump remover that is pure potassium nitrate. I got mine for 7 dollars a pound, which seems just a little higher then ordering it online. You may
want to look at the stump removers in your area just be careful because stupid me bought one that wasnt nitrate eons ago.

^that is true but by eons ago I mean I wasnt even into that side of chemistry and was just trying to surprise my friends. And its purity is good
enough for sugar rockets which was what I was interested in at the time. I am also lucky in the sense that nothing gets thrown away so that sodium
metabisulfite, which it is I remember the name, is still in the garage.
To be honest it is sometimes surprising what you can just buy, its like how can they "regulate" something and then sell it on the shelf in a public
place for cash.

Actually, I would say that there has been a resurgence in various hobbies due to the maker movement. When I was in Charlottesville (UVA) there was a
huge group that would get together in the hacker/open spaces to do just this; not to mention the un-conferences.
Just look at all the young people interested in hobbies that are know sharing it with the world in maker magazines, youtube, instructables, etc.

Recently I have made several electro-mechanical devices to support my chemistry hobby. I talk about these in a tangential way with my friends at
morning coffee. Of course they always ask: and what is the purpose of this device?
I give a circumspect answer and they drop it. One electrical engineer was quite interested in my stepper motor stirrer. He wanted me to bring it to
Starbucks, plug it in to the wall outlet, and give a demonstration. I replied. "No way. I'm not bringing a black box with wires coming out of it!
Someone would call the bomb squad." His answer: "And well they should." This is a sad state of affairs.

Nope.
We're all Odd and live all over the planet, and don't really do 'people events' as well as we can type stuff into computers or stuff reagents into
beakers before blasting them with heat.
A bit like You i guess.
P.S. an Event would cost a huge amount of money, simply down to the air-fares, hotels etc
P.P.S. the more Capable of the SM membership would be a bit paranoid as well, and would think it a FBI/DEA/CIA event designed to flush them out.
P.P.P.S. Cool ! That means that i can come to the party !

I'm so pissed because of lack of well developed/known and easy methods of preparation of common reagents.
As you may know, some time ago I was forced to develop anthranilic acid synthesis all over again (because I can't just leave my 5% yield as is and
pretend I've succeded), until s.c.wack found a 100 years old article with absolutely the same procedure which had been forgotten, and instead tonns of
non-reproducible procedures were spread all over the internets.
Same thing happenned to elemental phosphorus thread - it is filled from the begginning to the end with procedures, which are mostly untested and the
rest suits for industrial production, but not for a home chemist. In thirteen (13) years nobody managed to find an answer, it's like a huge bin that
collects all the useless ideas to avoid flooding the forum with dozens of threads. I hope soon I will prove that you can actually make phosphorus by
means of kitchenware and basic OTC chemicals.
Aluminium isopropoxide, acetonitrile, pyridine, acetic anhydride, sulfuric acid, sulfuryl chloride, thionyl chloride, dimethyl carbonate - those are
usefull and potentially easy to make reagents, but scantily explored. I was going to put oxalyl chloride into the list, but there were few members on
the forum who actually performed extensive research on the subject and some experiments, however, there's still a lot to explore in the oxalyl
chloride synthesis.
I want to remind you about a famous aluminium reduction of nitroalkenes, which was unknown for so many years, while in fact it was well known to
chemists hundred years ago.
I'm starting to think there are some agents on forums who intentionally discuss useless procedures to hide the truth, which lies in the fact nobody
knows shit and the usable method is yet to be discovered or rediscovered.
Some people blame Lerner for being a dick, but let's look at facts - he's one of few members who actually tested the procedures. Half of them are not
usable at home, but who cares?

That's why I continually push for some sort of organizational measure. The SM Wiki is a good idea, but it doesn't have the expansive qualities to
organize large amounts of information and procedures. I'm looking for some good model to use for such a measure, but I haven't found one that works.

That's pretty much what rhodium was trying to do and sucked hard, because he did not perform most of the procedures he gather into his site. I'm
talking about these articles:
http://bitnest.ca/Rhodium/chemistry/nitro2amine.mg-n2h4-hcoo...
http://bitnest.ca/Rhodium/chemistry/oxime2amine.mg-af.html
http://bitnest.ca/Rhodium/chemistry/debenzylation.zn-af.html
Some1 could gather his private site the verified information about procedures his collegues and him already performed. Like google docs.
But the other problem that bothers me - not much of people seem to care about researching basic reagents, and those who actually do, seem to have too
few knowledge and/or equipment to perform the correct analysis, like it was in the TEMPO case, where I still got no confirmation that the resulting
compound is actually a TEMPO and not substituted compound or some mix.
I remember my attempt to post a message to professional chemists about a need for developing procedures for basic reagents preparation, and I was
laughed at, because YOU CAN'T MAKE MONEY ON IT. Why anyone would bother himself with chemistry if he can't make money, right, Jessie?
And thanks god today we have enough access to science journals, because otherwise we would be like blind kittens having no idea where to go and what
is this world. But still a lot of knowledge is obscured, e.g. few people seem to know about dithionite and thiourea peroxide, while those reagent are
so much OTC, and ther's no way amateur chemist can make NaBH4 ro LAH.
Once again in case you haven't understood: you can't take dithionite or thiourea peroxide away from people, just like you can't ban hydrogen peroxide
or sulfuric acid, because those reagent are used a lot in different industries. But you can ban borohydrodes easily, because the only branch of
industry, that uses it, is drug synthesis, and the companies making drugs are forced to obtain licenses. So, basically, if you want to be an advanced
chemist and you think that status quo is okay, then you are forced to attain some colledge or make your business and obtain a license for precursors
(because in most cases an individual person is either not eligible to have this license or nobody would sell suspicious chemicals to an individual).
I'm worried about bans on chemical equipment, but I don't think you can ban the equipment made from steel, because otherwise a lot of people will
become potentially suspicious and the whole idea loses sense.
AFAIK, the restriction on equipment is implemented only in australia-NZ and some US states, probably because a lots of people actually have glassware,
including schools, thus there's no sense in controling sales of this equipment, because no government have resources to do that. Even in australia/US
i believe those are violated a lot, taking into account their formulation is vague.

1. Are you saying I faked my yield?!?! Just because you didn't get the same result once doesn't mean everyone else is wrong.
2. Many people did succeed in the phosphorus thread, mostly using OTC materials.
3. You yourself discuss some pretty useless stuff...
4. Decent amounts of research has been done into all of the reagents you've listed, you just need to search deeper.
5. Are you saying scientific journals make you dumber????

Pinkhippo11, describe your first position fully, because I have no idea what you are talking about there.
2. I know a lot of people succeeded, but their devices are far from OTC and/or the yields are miserable. The amount of phosphorus that can be further
used for more than one experiment starts somewhere at 20g - I doubt anyone in the phosphorus thread made that much.
4. Yes and no. Yes, the researches have probably been done, no, there's no people on the forum who can share the results of the research;
5. No.

If I succeed in my upcoming phosphorus experiments, then I would have a huge platform to detract those contributions.
But that will happen not earlier than my recovery from bromine intoxication, which makes me so irritable.
What do I do to contribute to what? Did you mean phosphorus thread? Speaking about it, I found no convenient procedure in the thread, so I was forced
to spend a lot, A LOT of time searching for other ways, while the discussion in the thread goes through the same methods over and over again. And I
can barely remember all the things which are written there, because there's really a lot of text, and I'm not a phosphorus manufacture specialist.
I can disclose the way I'm gonna prepare the phosphorus - I'm gonna use something phosphine-like, but I have not made decision about details. I don't
say it has to be gaseous phosphine, countrary, it should be dissolved in a solvent. I don't see much reason to talk about it, because most likely
nobody would try to develop the method.

I intend to do a foray into extracting P. I will use a variation of Rogeryermaw's method using sodium hexametaphosphate, SiO2, Al with a NaCl flux.
The set-up is not that hard although my furnace design is going to be different from his. It all looks rather doable. he has posted in the P thread
(scattered over several pages) He also shows his procedure in a video on his youtube channel.
If that helps at all byko3y.

So let me get this straight: You're complaining that people on the forum have had to use too-specialized procedures that take too much work (waaah) to
make phosphorus with decent yields. And since they're not OTC enough for you, you're going to show everyone how OTC and simple you can be by
generating and making use of phosphine gas. As opposed to simply heating a pretty simply welded apparatus using the correct heating element and power
supply, keeping everything in a nearly closed system. I think it'd be great to try out your new method for producing phosphorus, and I have the
highest hopes for you. But if you're complaining that existing methods aren't accessible, and that everyone's posting untested procedures(false) much
like the one you're discussing now, then this is a new level of hypocrisy. Conduct your research, share anything interesting you find, and make the
site a better place yourself.
