@anon93688 is the CBN expert on this forum as far as i know
He had Some isseus with scaling and with Total conversion
Something i think a controled spd run should solve since the CBD can be seperated deu to high boiling point diffrance
I personaly haven t reached cristilization Numbers thou

What’s the boiling point of cbn? Do you know?

I used this method to convert cbd isolate to cbn but It seems the cbd is first converted to thc perhaps. Bc I was able to pass a drug test before but not after. Perhaps if I refluxed longer it would convert all the way over but I currently cant afford to test that theory with possible randoms at work. Does anybody else have any experience using isolate with this method?

Here’s a picture of the yield I got from my first test batch I wish I would have taken a picture of the second run it was a bit bigger and turned out dark red

So you started with cbd isolate and it ended up red like that?

Yes. But remember you should get reagents iodine. Other wise. I have fun and be careful the phenyl selection is very dangerous

Cbn.
Also don’t half ass your recovery. Your last solvent should not be your main solvent choice. Good god please don’t dab this stuff unless ran through chromotography
Also your cbn should crystallize on you

Have you attempted to recrystallize your cbd to reach a higher purity?
Interesting that the reaction created some colored compounds, I wonder what’s in there.

You use UV to detect the compound bands?

you aren’t scared of the fact that improper toluene recovery may kill people?

Yes I use a aromatic solvent as my last solvent that is Uv active . Why make chromotography boring?

I wonder what else is in there too I washed it several times so I almost doubt the red was residual iodine.

Ok so don’t dab anymore, got it!

protonation and deprotonation effects colors to reds and purples do to change of chemistry. That’s why yours is red

Looks like I have to figure out chromatography.

Hey man, please take these operations more seriously. if your reaction product is unpolished, or let alone is plausible that reagents are still contaminating the solution, please dont consume it. Chemists die early enough as it is.
A sodium thiosulfate wash and a superficial solvent removal process should not be considered grounds for a finished product.

Ty for your concern upon further evaluation I jumped in without proper knowledge of what I was doing. I definitely have a lot more studying to do.

Most people don’t have the balls or respect to admit this. My hat is off to you.
