Making a Hypnotic Sedative From Acetone

In this video I make an old hypnotic anesthetic agent called chlorobutanol from acetone, bleach, and potassium hydroxide.
Note that this chemical is NOT a recreational drug, and I have yet to find any examples of someone ever trying to use it as such. This was used nearly exclusively as a medical anesthetic until its use was discontinued due to its major side-effects which I discuss later in the video.
As always, do not attempt anything you see except under professional guidance.

    It doesn't work like that with super long acting benzos or phenobarbital. The high is still like 20 hours, and yes with phenobarbital it's half life is like 20 days, you are not feeling the phenobarbital for 20 days more like 10 to 12 hours yet you will test postive for weeks after it wears off.

I will not provide a suggested dosing amount as I am not a pharmacist not do I want to encourage anyone to attempt this, but anyone stupid enough to do this needs to be aware that a half-life time is the time to half the original dosage and should plan accordingly.

    @@jacobbrown7367 200 mg is not that large of a dose for something with this level of psychoactivity. For comparison chloral hydrate is dosed at 500 to 1000 mg. The OP of this thread ingested a gram or so if I remeber correctly and this lead to overdosing. And (unlike you) I know precisely what the elimination half-life is (which by the way usually refers to blood levels, not to the total amount in the body). And by the way 37 days is the half-life as measured in vitro at a pH of 7.4, terminal elimination half life in vivo in healthy human subjects is reported to be only 10.3 days (C Tung et al., Biopharm Drug Dispos 1982).

    The smell becoming overwhelming and gross is probably due to how our scent receptors oxidize aromatic compounds, something about them becoming overloaded or the accumulation of side-products of oxidation forming complex molecules with other organics (from your tissues - hence the cancer/degenerative disease risk from many volatiles) that also get processed but register as rancid or acrid due to similarity with rotting meat or spoiled fruit smells.

    Chemistry is one of those fields that really weed out the "ill-doers" believe it or not, the mad scientist that media portrays is a stock fiction character and nothing else. People with unmotivated malignant intent are usually addled by extreme emotion and are usually not the types to go through academic or technical education. The worst harm happens by accident, or gross negligence by administrative authorities. This is why you see most instances of mass violence committed with guns or garden variety explosive devices, and rarely with chemical, biological or radiological weapons. Media loves portraying violent anti-social types "the psychopath" as these smart, coldly calculating geniuses that hold dark secret knowledge that they apply flawlessly in the execution of sick fantasy or whatever, but real life criminally insane perps usually have very low cognitive capacity. The more intelligent ones are rarely found in violent crime or terrorism, but are the ones in business making life as a worker in corporate hell. The fear of the knowledgeable/literate dates back to early medieval times and has sadly been deeply embedded in our culture, people fear computer literates too, and respect their mechanic about as much as their dentist. Just had to point that out, dont fear the knower, the knower is likely why you survived childhood and enjoy a relatively peaceful existence :)

    @Apoptosis: Since this platform is ghosting all answers to my answering comments (accept for the ones from the creator himself, but even my own), I have to answer your question as a new comment: Never heard about the interfering properties of ammonium ions on detection of Mg with azo violet, so I tried it out immediately: no blue colorlack was formed nor did any other color change happen (except to yellow if the test solution is too acidic). Did you use distilled water to dissolve the ammonium salt? Azo violet is so sensitive on magnesium that it will even detect the traces present in tap water. Indeed ammonium often is an interfereing ion in analytics so it has to be boiled off as ammonia with sodium hydroxide beforehand then. But in this case it doesn't cause any problems. But there's one thing to take into account with this dye: the alkaline violet solution is sensitive to air. It becomes a brown liquid lost its indicator properties when standing open for a longer time. This can be prevented by adding a little ascorbic acid - and preparing the solution freshly everytime when needed.

In any case I hadn't tried the ammonium ion test yet (only read about it on Wikipedia). I also didn't realize until working with it just how EXTREMELY sensitive it is to magnesium ions. It's to the point that when diluted in a sufficient quantity of tap water it is certainly more blue than violet, and when I added 2M magnesium sulfate to a freshly-prepared alkaline sample of azo violet, I got a thick blue precipitate.. which I can't remember whether or not you mentioned in your video. The intensity of the colors with this one are actually such that it's hard to get good footage, and in all honesty I might just be using to much of the azo dye. This stuff seems like a little goes quite a long way

    @@integral_chemistry I think it’s one of those things where, it’s not super soluble in organic solvents, but moreso, it’s driven forward by the higher solubility of the product relative to the hydroxide. Also, it would make a lot more sense as you saw in your mechanism. No formation of carbines or loss of product due to some weird side reaction. I suppose also, you could filter it, dry it out and see if it’s hygroscopic, or reacts with something like calcium to make calcium hydroxide, which wouldn’t be the case with potassium chloride.

Regarding your question about textile dyeing with Para-Red: The concentration of the developer solutions influences the color depth of the dyed textile. Here is a recipe: Solution A: 10 ml diluted sodium hydroxide solution, a little beta-naphthol. The dyed material is immersed in the solution. Solution B: 25 ml water, some sodium nitrite, some p-nitroaniline, 10 ml diluted sodium hydroxide solution. The solution is cooled to below 5 degrees Celsius and then 25 ml of diluted hydrochloric acid is added until it turns yellow. The dyed textile is then transferred from solution A to solution B. The recipe is universally applicable. Depending on the desired dye, the phenol and aniline components can be exchanged accordingly.

    I was expecting this to be a synthesis of chloral hydrate. I remember hearing about 20 years ago that it's a very easy synthesis. Requiring you to just bubble chlorine gas through I think ethanol. Which sounds suspect and comes from the same source that claimed you can separate ether from hexane by mixing it with water and draining off the bottom water layer. But it's got me wondering how easy/hard the actual synthesis of chloral hydrate is. It would be a real treat if you could cover this one. If legally possible.

    @@integral_chemistry Yes, azo violet is a fairly rich dye. The reference to phenols and amines refers to the coupling process itself and does not indicate an additional work step for fixation. I have to admit that the last time I dealt with textile dyeing was in my senior year - that was over 30 years ago. So here is a translated text from one of my school encyclopedias at the time: Developmental coloration: In contrast to direct dyes, developing dyes are created on the fiber. They are often azo dyes. Two components are required for their production, namely an aromatic as a coupling component and an aromatic diazonium salt. The coupling component is dissolved in a basic, aqueous medium. The fibers, which are mostly cellulose fibers, are soaked with it and then dried. They are then treated with the diazonium salt solution. The coupling reaction that creates the dye therefore takes place on the fiber. Like the vat dyes, the developing dyes are not water-soluble and therefore very wash-fast. Naphtol AS (3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid anilide), a derivative of naphthalene, is often used as the coupling component, which is why it is also referred to as naphtol-AS dyes. For your coloring with para-red this means that diazotized 4-nitroaniline and β-naphthol would have to be coupled directly on the textile.

    There's already like 20 uploads of this on KZread so I figured it was fine. I just thought it would be educational to go more in depth on the molecular mechanisms of this process than I've seen done before

    wouldn't this half life lead to physical dependence after a single dose?

    hmm thats a good question. Honestly I think this is one of those types of drugs that it isn't really possible to become physically addicted to, but if there was something that had the same effect as an amphetamine for an entire month yeah you'd probably be addicted after a single dose.

    @integral_chemistry addiction=/= physical dependence. If you have sedatives constantly in your system for even a week or two (such as benzodiazepines, alcohol, sleeping pills, etc) you will have mild withdrawal after stopping. I bet if you dosed this compound you would sober up in a day or two, not because the drug cleared your system, but because your receptors downregulated to compensate for the drug. When you do actually clear the drug I bet you would feel WD after that single dose.

    If you couldn't find examples of people using chloroform as a recreational drug I don't think you did very good research.

    Oh no people definitely abuse chloroform, just less often chlorobutanol.. although I'm sure people have tried that before as well

    Tymoleptic drug Not hypnotic. That would be a misnomer! It makes one care less about stuff. I don't know the word in English, but Norwegians calls it "likegladssprøyte" when administered to dogs before the final shot. Makes them a whole lot easier to kill!

    It is not a misnomer. Those are completely unrelated terms. Hypnotic means that it induces sleep.

    I mean I professionally work as an organic chemist but sure, everything on every chemistry channel is by definition "dilettante" work as it isn't being done in a professional setting or following any SOPs. What is your point?
