Title: (Chemistry) Ritalinic acid -> methylphenidate/ritalin
Post by: Alpha77 on January 08, 2013, 06:28 pm
I've been looking for a stimulant that I could use regularly, but Adderall and ritalin prices are way to high on SR. You could just buy street amphetamine sulfate for cheaper, but with the availability of p-2-p, you could make it yourself and have a better idea of the purity level. I much rather use methylphenidate though, as it's more mild, less neurotoxic, less addictive. I was wondering if you could simply synthesize  methylphenidate from ritalinic acid by fischer esterification, and how easy it would be. From my research obtaining USP or similar grade ritalinic acid shouldn't be that difficult especially from foreign sources.
