MXE Custom Synthesis!

Hello all I have a great deal of money reserved for bulk MXE and wish to buy a synthesis. Sourcing isn't allowed because of reddit which is sad since that's what I need.

But I can Ask:

How should one go about trying to find a company to do a custom synth of MXE?

What countries should I look at?

Would I be better off contacting someone like JOR or DNM related?

Any insight on what the minimums for most companies are for custom synthesis? (Assuming atleast 100g if not 500g)

Would synthesizing it by paying a local chemist be feasible? (Equipment wise I know it would, but Pre cursor wise I am unsure)

PMs are encouraged!

I have researched this and yes I have read all of the articles related to its synthesis I just don't have extense knowledge in organic chemistry.

Search for China + "custom synthesis" or India "custom synthesis". China is a better bet.

See this pic. MXE is included for reference purposes.

Get quotes for the making of this 2nd chemical (ketal of MXE) or 3rd chemical (the reduced MXE hydroxy analog) or both. Ask for quotes and lead times on different quantities, like 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg.

Do the conversion to MXE yourself.

  1. For more info about the ketal and how you can easily convert it to the ketone (MXE), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetal Edit: I messed up in the pic. The "ketal" should be dimethoxy instead of dihydroxy. Alternatively, the hemiketal needs to have one of those hydroxyls be a methoxyl instead. Both the ketal and hemiketal are convertible to the ketone. It's been a while since I looked into this stuff. Read up on ketals and hemiketals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiacetal

  2. For more info about how to convert the hydroxide to the ketone (MXE), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_of_secondary_alcohols_to_ketones. It is incredibly easy to do with easy-to-aquire oxidizers. Look up pseudoephedrine to methcathinone conversion for step by step guides.

Both conversions should be easy enough to accomplish.

I can't help, but I really hope your vision is turned into reality soon.Best of luck

It's a four step grignard reaction from the precursors wich are easy to obtain and it follows the ketamine synthesis procedure. It's 11 steps from scratch which includes preparing your grignard reagents. A year if chemistry and you could do it, it's not very difficult. The best resource for a synth guide I could find was the DEA classification papper on it or the UN classification. It has pictures showing each step of the reaction and you should be able to fill in the blanks.

any country where its outlawed would be a no no.

so china is out of the question. i would look at countries with established chemical industries namely india. its gonna be tough however to find a legit company that would synth it for you without just taking your money going mia.

also moq would be somewhere around 5kg, to atleast make it worthwhile to synthesise. It is not an overly complicated synthesis and the precursors are not too difficult to source.

I would rather attempt to partially synthesize it yourself, you could more than likely find a company in china to produce the primary ketone for you and then complete the final few steps skipping most steps. Or perhaps rather another processed intermediate that is close to final molecule that you could convert. You'll need to have a closer look at the laws in your country to see what you can get away with.

Either way you will need to become clued up on what it is you're wanting to buy in order to not get screwed over.

Don't buy a synth guide. Learn chemistry and get basic guidelines from erowid.

No chemist would risk their career for some druggie, so you'll have to do it yourself.

You want to get a contract with a real lab, we arent talking about g's here, you would be lucky to find a lab that does custom synthesis for you with under 5kg

Insane that the drought has lasted this long. The greatest chemical ever made by a man and it's virtually nowhere to be found.


[1 Points] RazrLazr:

Hey man I see a lot of people suggesting the minimum quantity that you would get synthesised would cost too much for you. If this is the case, maybe find some friends or associates willing to go in with you? Might be an option.


[1 Points] LostSomewhereInSpace:

Dear god I hope you can find some info. Would really be nice. I could be just flat wrong, but I feel like there has to be a US lab somewhere willing to synthesize for the right price considering it's not scheduled or even a clear analogue.


[1 Points] None:

If you have the money contact some labs in China. They are the ultimate BTC whores.


[1 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

There's this guy called Umbreon who's good at hooking desperate MXE users with a possibility, and always claims to have loads of money.

But you wouldn't be interested. Its more of a SHELBYVILLE idea.

Wish I could help OP, I aced chem lab but failed chem lecture twice.

Hopefully you succeed and share your results. If you can get as far as the precursors etc though I imagine you could probably find a university student who would be willing to finish the synth for you for not so much money. Just go into a chem study hall and look for the ones that look like they're wired as fuck, those are the kids typically synthing their own stimulants etc.

you could just get ketamine
