can some one give me a link or post the recipie for cloral hydrate, please do not post a link to rhodium and please please do not flame me as this board has a notorious reputation for it. ps anyone know where to get calcium oxide. any reply will be grounds for a life long commitment to this board and its posters in helping out anyway i can.
oh and if u know can anyone give me a link to a good mescaline extract if one exists, i have tried many hours to find a good one yet remain unsuccessful

Rhodium is about the only place I have ever seen a chloral hydrate synth (but then again I have never really searched). Is there something you dont understand about the synth on rhodium?

Yeah that is the only synth that I have ever heard of too, why would you want this anyways? It sounds like you are a serious newbie chemist but this is a ridiculous thing to want to make, unless it is just for the experience.

Calcium oxide can be bought from the pharmacy, it is a pretty common chemical in industry though and is used in huge amounts.

thanks for the replies, the synth on that site is pretty easy and i understand it fully except for the bit where u produce the chlorine gas. it sez 2" of chlorine bleach to i tablespoon of ammonia or somethin. what the hell is 2" ? im not sure whether it has something to do with the imperial system or whatever coz i only know metric measurements...

oh yeah and its totally jsut for the experience, a friend of mine sez i need to learn to be able to safely control chemical reactions before i move onto bigger and better things, is this good advice or just bull shit?

Well you should get experience in all the chemistry you can before you work on something important, your friend gives good advice.

I just about killed myself with a chlorine generator once, they aren't super dangerous, I was just being stupid, so do it outside and it really doesn't matter what amounts of bleach and Hydrochloric acid you use(molar ratio 1:1 would be good) just be aware that it is a very vigorous reaction and you might want to control the addition of acid.

good luck,
bee safe.
