sounds like you didn’t read up on how this reaction should be performed. controlling the temp of that exothermic reaction is mission critical. check these
- Miles-Beyond and Heisenberg run iLLnyeTheShatterGuy and others D8 SOP in real time?
- ILL NYE CBD-D8 Conversion Master SOP
- Thank me later Δ8THC via ptsa
…and maybe start with EXACTLY what you did. if you tried several approaches, list them all.
if you can’t describe exactly what you did, in a manner that allows others to repeat it, then the likelihood of following someone else’s SOP to a T is low.
my understanding is that sulphuric acid will lead to more side products, but isomerization isn’t a trick I’ve performed more than a handful of times.
the water clear 90+ % D8 shown above was a “training” run. I was in the lab to see the SOP run first hand, so I could teach it to another lab with confidence. had the next guys making very similar quality within the allotted week.
new to SPD? try these:
- New and starting with SPD
- 1st SPD run - trip notes
- First SPD setup questions - pressure gauge, flasks, and terps
- SPD troubleshooting woes
- Setting for SPD run
edit: no, I haven’t read them recently.
