Methamphetamine Synthesis Inhibition: Dissolving Metal Reductions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we report the status of our investigation into the feasibility of introducing a chemical agent into agricultural grade anhydrous ammonia that will render the ammonia useless for methamphetamine synthesis. Our goal is to provide a means to reduce the number, ease, and stealth that clandestine methamphetamine laboratories using the dissolving metal, or Nazi, synthetic method currently enjoy.

Knorr-Rabe partial reduction of pyrroles: Application to the synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids
BACKGROUND The Birch reduction of electron rich pyrroles does not occur readily. However, dissolving metal reduction with zinc under acidic conditions gives 3-pyrrolines (2,5-dihydropyrroles) in reasonable yield. This dissolving metal reduction was first reported by Knorr and Rabe in 1901 but since then has only been reported for the reduction of electron rich pyrroles. RESULTS The partial re...
متن کاملDifferential Contribution of Constituent Metal Ions to the Cytotoxic Effects of Fast-Dissolving Metal-Oxide Nanoparticles
The main mechanism of toxicity for fast-dissolving nanoparticles (NPs) is relatively simple as it originates from the intrinsic toxicity of their constituent elements rather than complicated surface reactivity. However, there is little information about the compared toxicity of fast-dissolving NP and its constituent ion, which is essential for understanding the mechanism of NP toxicity and the ...
متن کاملReactions of aquatitanium(II) with hypervalent chromium species.
Titanium(ii) solutions, prepared by dissolving titanium metal in triflic acid and HF, react readily with derivatives of Cr(vi), Cr(v) and Cr(iv). Reductions of Cr(vi) and Cr(iv), carried out with [Co(NH(3))(5)Br](2+) as a scavenger for Cr(ii), yield no detectable Co(2+), indicating that 2e(-) steps, bypassing Cr(v) and Cr(iii), are not operative. Catalysis by Ti(iv) is observed only for reducti...
متن کاملEffects of acute topiramate dosing on methamphetamine-induced subjective mood.
Clinical studies have shown that topiramate, a sulphamate-substituted fructopyranose derivative, might be an efficacious treatment for alcohol dependence, smoking cessation within an alcohol-dependent population, and cocaine dependence. Mechanistically, topiramate's therapeutic effects have been hypothesized to be due to inhibition of cortico-mesolimbic dopamine function, the primary substrate ...
متن کاملTemplate-directed synthesis, characterization and electrical properties of Au–TiO2–Au heterojunction nanowires
The feasibility of synthesizing metal–oxide–metal (MOM) heterojunction nanowires in the Au–TiO2–Au system is demonstrated. The synthesis method presented here entails sequential electroplating of Au and electro-deposition of amorphous titanium oxide (TiOx ) inside nanoholes of anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates. This is followed by dissolving the template, and heat-treating the released nan...
