I did indeed start with isolate

Lmfao!!!
Thanks for this

I have a hard time believing those numbers using T41
I believe the d8 number accounts for d8+d9 there, with higher d9 number than with ptsa only.
Then the decrease is d8 would also be explained by the presence of the 1-2 others d8 isomers which are favored upon reaction with clay.

Anybody can indeed believe what they want. I posted the results to show non detect can be done. I know a lot of yaāll are cali/colo folks with trust issues with a lot of your local labs and I totally understand that, but I use multiple labs to back up my findings and only ācelebrateā once Iāve gotten the results i want from three or more labs. You can definitely use t41 to get your numbers down to non detect.
Though you may find it hard to believe @anon32743824 , the most prime characteristic an experienced chemist builds, is that of stoicism. We often find ourselves having to leave behind āwhat we thinkā and go forward with results and peer reviewed concepts that make āhaving gut feelingsā kinda nullā¦

I donāt think 64% d8 with ND d9 from isolate is anything to brag about honestly

64%d8, ND d9, 36%BS

Nobody is bragging, and it isnt distilled. Once distilled, its above 95%. But i know a cynic when i āseeā one. Iām a cynic myself. Thats why i just said, try it yourself, but distill at the end.
Youāll have 95% D8, non detect D9. You wonāt try it, and youāll still doubt it. Very typical.

Why not sending me a sample then. Iāam my own lab. 
I believe so because 50-75% D8 is a typical results with acidic clays, coming with 2-12% d9, and some 5-15% of one of the D8 isomer. The conversion between THC seems reversible to some extent.
There are other variables at plays as well.
Was the sample still clear ? Orange colored ? or even partly burned (tar) ?

I would gladly. Ill get it in the mail this next business week if you DM me your address of receipt.

Keep in mind i did initial conversion with pTSa. I simply used t41 to isomerize the last of the d9

Post a post distillation COA showing 94% D8 and ND d9 using t41 thenā¦

Yes, I had exactly that in mind.
PTSA brings 90% d8, down to 1.2% d9, and like 3% of a, presumably, d8 isomer.
Then if you react this with the clay, it may convert some d8 back to d9, and another part would be converted to the isomer. Iām doing assumptions here, I havenānt tried this peculiar sequence myself.

I think I had a phone conversation with either you or someone with the exact same method
Yes Dr_Jebril, i urge you to try this method please. Like i said, I believe a lot of people will doubt, but i can tell you from my results, thats its the avenue worth going down. My specific parameters may not be the best. For instance, I could maybe go with less time during reflux of acidic media, could use less % of media per reaction, etc. I assure you though, this is a pathway.

I sure will post that result once i get it done and it comes in. 10 days ago my small scale short path still head broke so this is the path ive had to take waiting on the new piece to arrive. The research community used to be so much more fruitful and receptive than this. This whole forum seems to be a dick measuring contest the more i read.

Ok Iām not hating so when you post that COA I will beleive your T41 claim and apologize

I did not intended to sound mad neither here sorry.
I forgot to mention that our experimental description is very cool.
We were just discussing the science behind a speculating it was still not the way.
The experimental description is sounding, but the presented data is still cryptic. It is not the first time upon the last monthsā¦ We would need more to see than a COA (or maybe one from @kcalabs, but some will still discussā¦). We need to see the chromatogram at least.
