Not that easy to find someone in this forum, who ships to europe for a good price.
Still in need of 1kg Iso

They shouldn’t charge more than the cost of shipping /product itself that would be unethical. As why I referred to reviews

I think the process of customs clearance isn’t clear for everyone and thats why not everyone offers shipping to the EU

Thanks guys for lending a helping hand, apologies for hijacking the thread with sourcing questions and izomerisation on crude/plant. I will try and see if I can get my hands on a small amount of isolate and will also do experiments. I think I just found myself a new hobby, been reading on this for the past days like crazy. Cheers!

Why did you use a 10L SPD when you only had a volume </= 1kg isolate in your flask. you only filled your flask 20%. wouldnt you be better off with a 2L?
Reread that post.
1kg of iso
2l of heptane
Xxxg of T41
Not fitting in a 2l. It would fit a 5l but is pushing it.
Also this way is no good. Keep reading you’ll find a better way.

If you read through, Once its passed through crc and solv. recovered, there is only 1kg of reacted iso left. thus, a 2L. correct?
Please describe better? the Tac? more D9 then D8? vise versa? methods of washing the ph?
you are not required to use an acid with this method.
Using other items in the flask besides magic dirt… Citric acid… There’s your hint… Everything you need for everything is here, listed in fact… Just use that there magnifying glass on the right by your avatar…

Yes after you filter and recover solvent you could use a 2l spd to distill 1kg of oil.
Everything is here in explicit detail. I suggest doing something like this. Create a word/Google doc. Read through all the Isomerization threads. Copy and paste all the information you can find into said document.
Have different sections for each catalyst. Once you have read through all the isomerization threads and done keyword searches for all the catalysts you will have all the information you need to formulate procedures for a number of catalysts that will work way better/provide higher quality product than T41. I suggest avoiding anything that uses clays in the flask.
I tried this one when it was posted and it was a mess. I immediately switched to acids, they work much better and provide a much cleaner product. T41 seemed more familiar to me which is why I tried it. Dont be intimidated by the acids, just spend a day or two on here reading everything you can find and you’ll understand things a lot better.
Any dangers generated by, say acid and solvent combinations etc., are mentioned extensively. So, if you really read you’ll be able to choose a safe procedure and execute it safely.
I suggest looking for the catalysts that produce the least unknowns.
There’s one I have in mind that is cheap readily available and produces clean results (all cannabinoids visible on COA), and with higher THC numbers than this, very easily. If you fine tune it you can get way higher numbers (90%+ D9).
If you get yourself most of the way and need a little help dm me and I will help where I can.
And if you made it through all that a little tip on first question. You can distill 1kg of oil in a 2l spd. This procedure as described has a volume of ~3.3l. Generally you don’t want to fill a spd above 50-60%, which is why OP used a 10l. OP never states what size spd he used to distill the oil afterward.
Work on your reading comprehension it is an invaluable skill that earn you far more money than throwing throwing some powders and cbd in flask.

Nickel is super toxic also. Avoided by professional pharma chemists (like me).

Do you know of any methods to get d9 instead of d8? Pure d9 I mean, 85% plus
There’s a couple methods being discussed in other threads. Use that magnifying glass at the top to search, and read, read, read, and then read some more.

In the last days I red a lot.
I remember: a lot of People said when you handle with ptsa its ok to take 1% of acid, based on CBD (for exp.: 1g CBD + 0,1g ptsa) for example @Roguelab says that 1.5% is in Most cases to much
So now i‘m confused, reading: „ Cannabidiol as the Substrate in Acid-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclization“ they wrote:
-
„CBD (154 mg, 0.5 mmol); solvent, anhydrous CH2Cl2 (2.5 mL); T = RT; pTSA·H2O (189 mg, 1 mmol); reaction time, 36 h. Yields: Δ8-THC, 145 mg (94%).“ Thats 122% of ptsa??
-
„ CBD (318 mg, 1 mmol); solvent, anhydrous toluene (5 mL); T = RT; pTSA·H2O (386 mg, 2 mmol); reaction time, 48 h. Yields: Δ9-THC, 262 mg (82%); Δ8-THC, 34 mg (11%).“ Here we have 122% ptsa too.
-
Conditions (Table 2, entry 6): CBD (79 mg, 0.25 mmol); solvent, anhydrous toluene (1.25 mL); T = RT; pTSA·H2O (6 mg, 0.025 mmol); reaction time, 96 h. Yields: Δ9-THC, 7 mg (9%); Δ8-THC, 70 mg (89%).“ ok Here we have „just“ 10% ptsa but its More than 1% or 1.5%.
What do u think about that?
Is it because all reactions run on roomtemperature…?
I think thats what they used to get those results. In a lot of studies you’ll see large quantities of acids used compared to CBD. I think people don’t want to scale these reactions from mg to kg using so much acid, so they experiment.
I think what you learned, is that you jave a large range to work with. Now its time to experiment, and see what you can get to work.

@ZenD said it all almost all rxn in the papers use massive acid amounts
Adams used 32X his cbd amount
With ptsa the acid gets full isomerization in some solvents as low as 0.5%
You can and should experiment with amounts
