10g Cbd in 10mL dry dcm+5% alcl3 under dry CO2
Naoh quench
Filter
Washings
Drying then filter
But after removing the dcm, the oil and the glass took a weird citrus smell. Did i make something nasty ?
I have a customer that brings crude for distillate. It always has a weird lemon peel/zest smell. Almost the exact smell of a wheat beer like Blue Moon and stale lemons rotting in the trash. I just do the standard winterize/dewax, and then once I do a terp strip pass the gross smell is gone and the distillate looks great, smells normal and tests around 92% usually.
Edible or vape use ?
That quench 100% won t take all out
The lemon smell is unknown to me
So no cleu where that turned up from
But any oil made with this route
I would only use for edibles and not vape
Unless you trow tert butoxide at it at 65C

1:1 cbd:solvent ratio is quite interesting, does it work well?
Naoh quench - for alcl? What quench medium do you use to avoid hydroxides/emulsion? Methanol?
How do you remove the solvent?
Glad you are back… Is that the HCl-THC theory? Use a strong base to avoid d8 conversion at distillation/rotevapping?
The quench /cleanup for alcl3 is near impossible with common over the counter reagents in my opinion
To avoid emulsions there are a few pathways
Potasiumsulfate to make the dubblesalt
Aluminium/potasium sulfate
Sodiumbisulfate to make dubbele salt
Aluminiumsodiumbsulfate
As @EagleChem noted making peroxides
Or using dry solvents other than water in the quench with dissolved bases
Iso,methanol,etyleenglycol,dmf,thf
And the use of reactive liquid drybases
As quench such as amines
Still think some form of chlorination happens in this synthesis and
When looking at dechlorination papers of phenols and cannabinoids the research often suggests cleanup at elevated temps +|- 65C
As for the butoxide it s known in the art
That it dechlorinates chlorinated cannabinoids and keeps them in the delta 9 form but the synthesis from where this is derived gives higher D9 yields so if this reagent is used /needed
I personally find it silly to use this reagent for a inferior sop

Using NaOH + NH4OH to quench seems to work well.
Higher than 15% aq naoh causes emulsions.
Im using 5% AlCl3 at -5°c, is 30minutes enough ? Product is not very potent,
Also i forgot to dry before removing DCM, would that lead to d8? Even if quenched properly ?
Meaning you huffed it rather than getting actual analytics done?
This is why we can’t have nice things…
