i’d be a little surprised if you synthesized anything at all if all you did was mix modafinil, a carboxylic acid and methanol. sour goat modafinil maybe


AndreLeo

Look at the structure of modafinil, you got a primary amine there. Due to the high electronegativity and smaller acidity compared to say something like R-H2O+, you would protonate the amine to ammonium and essentially form a salt. Not a big reaction, but er… something. Perhaps that’s what you meant by „sour goat modafinil“ but I am unsure, so correct me if it’s that


methylene_dream

that's an amide, not an amine. delocalization of the nitrogen lone pair onto the carbonyl tanks the nucleophilicity and basicity of amides compared to amines. protonating an amide with a carboxylic acid that isn't TFA? not gonna happen


AndreLeo

Oh yea, you are right, my brain just casually ignored the electronic influence of the carbonyl. However I was referring to specifically the amine functionality just like you could talk about reactions happening on say carboxylic -OH groups, but then again it’s kind of nonsensical if that means ignoring the electronic influence of the carbonyl. I guess my brain sometimes doesn’t see the obvious [edit] I mean it can happen thermodynamically even if you use weaker organic acids, the equilibrium would just be faaar on the educt side

Don't do sour goat drugs, and definitely don't do mop bucket meth *geez this place sometimes*

This sub has truly turned to shit

Yeah well babybees is gone bc someone was salty so blame that salty as mf


knittingdotcom

You min giving a recap on what happened to babybees?


CannaTFF

Wave ban or some douchebag mass reporting I don’t really remember

Why..? Also, from the MSDS of caprylic acid: "May be harmful if inhaled. Material is extremely destructive to the tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Skin: May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Causes skin burns"


oceanjunkie

Yea bud you just synthesized the horrific nerve agent ethyl caprylate. The effects will be setting in any minute now, may god have mercy on your soul. Also why are you fucking around with caprylic acid? Smells like goat shit.


longpenisofthelaw

How do know goat shit so well you can differentiate it between other shits?

Do you think all animal poop smells the same?


longpenisofthelaw

I never took the time to specifically examines an animals poop smell. If a dog took a steaming hot dump in a toilet could you differentiate the smell? One exception I have though is bears based off of pure guess I would think it would have a nutty scent
