- I scanned in this file because I was bored |->. This and the
- Cocaine synthesis that follows this post will probably be the only things
- from this book that I'll scan & post because A) You should go and buy the
- book (and also I don't want to violate copyright TOO much), and B) It's too
- much of a pain in the ass and I'm lazy |->. Enjoy!

- PHENCYCLIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE
-
-
- Phencyclidine and Other l-Phenylcyclohexylamines. Phencyclidine (PCP
- or angel dust) and its analogs create many different types of effects,
- dependent mainly on the individual user. It was first used to immobilize
- primates and is still used as an analgesic and/or anesthetic agent. It
- has been used on humans for the same purpose with limited success. I
- chose to put PCP into the hallucinogens chapter instead of the
- analgesics chapter because of the hallucinations the drug produces.
-
- As stated above, the effects are mainly determined by the user.
- Some people experience paranoia, others have fits of rage, and others
- have great euphoria. Mood alterations are always accompanied with time,
- perception and visual hallucinations. Some people have tried the drug
- and do not agree with it, so I do not approve of the practice of telling
- people that your PCP is THC or some other hallucinogen. These drugs are
- quite potent, so use them with a great deal of respect (I think that
- overdoses have CP the bad reputation that follows it today) as bummers
- from this drug have occurred often.
-
- The way that ethylamine, diethylamine, methylamine, piperidine,
- etc., can be used as analogs of one or another reminds me of the
- synthesis of LSD or DMTs. The formula is quite easy to carry out and it
- gives good yields in large quantities. Note: Given are several different
- methods. You may use any way that you feel will suit your needs and you
- may substitute any of the amines with an equimolar amount of amine
- analog to produce the desired l-phenylcyclohexylamine. However, the
- formulas stated give the best yields obtainable with that particular
- amine.
-
- These drugs are active orally, intermuscularly, and also by
- smoking. They should be kept in a dark, well stoppered bottle, in a
- freezer as much as possible. CA, 13881 (1963).
-
- METHOD 1. A mixture of 100 g of anhydrous ethylamine and 220 g
- of cyclohexanone is kept 16 hours, shaken with solid KOH, and the oil
- layer is removed by decantation. Distill the oil layer in vacuo to get
- the intermediate N-cyclohexylidenethylamine. Prepare a mixture of
- phenyllithium by mixing 11 g of lithium and 76 ml PhBr in 500 ml of
- Et20. Add the phenyllithium dropwise to a solution of 51 g of the
- N-cyclohexylidenethylamine in 500 ml of Et20, with stirring and cooling,
- to keep the temp at 0í. Stir for one hour and then decompose by adding
- water. Separate the Et20 layer, wash with H20 and distill to get 1-
- phenylcyclohexylethylamine or analog. The hydrochloride form is obtained
- in the usual way, as given below.
-
- METHOD 2. A mixture of 170 g of piperidine, 220 g of
- cyclohexylamine, and 750 ml of benzene is azeotropically distilled until
- the evolution of H20 stops, then vacuum distill to get
- cyclohexenyl-piperidine. p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (190 g) in
- 250 ml of PhMe is heated under a water trap until all the H20 is
- removed, then add a solution of 165 g of cyclohexyl-piperidine in 500 ml
- of Et20, with cooling, to keep temp at 0í. A solution of I mole of
- PhMgBr (made from 157 g of PhBr and 24 g of Mg) in 750 ml of Et20 is
- added (still holding the temp at 0í to 5í). The mixture is stirred for
- an additional 30 min after the dropwise addition is complete. Decompose
- the mixture by adding an excess saturated NH4Cl and NH40H. The Et20
- layer is removed, dried over K2CO3, and distilled to give
- phenylcyclohexylpiperidine. Convert to the hydrochloride form by
- dissolving the free base in an excess of iso-PrOH-HC1 and then
- precipitate the salt (the hydrochloride) with Et20 and crystallize from
- Et20-iso-PrOH (this is a mixture).
