Japanese professor teaches students how to cook MDMA

>A Japanese university professor could face up to 10 years in prison for allegedly teaching students how to manufacture MDMA a.k.a. ecstasy. Sixty-one-year-old Tatsunori Iwamura, a professor at Matsuyama University’s College of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Ehime prefecture, admitted to showing his class how to make ecstasy despite the fact he knew it was illegal, Kyodo News reports. He later told investigators he did it to help his pupils with their “education”. The university reportedly claims that between 2011 and 2013, Iwamura taught two students and an associate professor how to make the drug. He also allegedly instructed a different two students and the associate professor how to make it between 2016 and 2017. In the most recent case, Iwamura reportedly kept the MDMA.

Must be an undercover Kim trying to destroy Japan from the inside

He probably wanted to reduce number of visitors to suicide forest who never return.

what's MDMA?

yeah I'm thinking he's based

free my Japanese friend Iwamura

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA),[note 1] commonly known as ecstasy (E), is a psychoactive drug primarily used as a recreational drug.[13] The desired effects include altered sensations, increased energy, empathy, and pleasure.[13][14] When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last 3 to 6 hours.[11][15]

Literally nothing wrong with that

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine

or euphoria machine

Why is that illegal? By the same logic, that it can be used to do harm, self-defense videos on YouTube should be illegal... whether the students go ahead and do dumb shit, well that's their own choice

>"Japan is a free and safe count-"
>teach something, get jailed

In Japan you dont need to be a criminal to be jailed.
Japan is a dictator shithole with the guise of social cohesion. There's no real social cohesion, there's social fear or standing out and being called out by the norm.
If you step over any line you're pretty much fucked.

drugs are very frowned upon in Japan, which is perfectly fine.
I dont see how teaching how to cook it is bad, its knowledge. Though, I guess he might have concocted it in class, which mkes sense for it to be a crime.

Just showing the theory isn't illegal, many exercises in learning synthesis have pharmaceuticals or illegal drugs as examples.

Now, showing it in practice during labs is something else.

You need special permissions to produce and handle scheduled substances.
MDMA and its immediate precursors are on the UN convention for psychotropic drugs list.

mdma and most rec drugs in general are super easy to make, as are some explosives

t. chemist

Still, what is easy on paper doesn't necessarily translate to the lab. Without decent lab experience you are bound to fail.

if it's produced for educational purposes I don't see what's wrong

Ecstasy you dumb fucking chink

>里保る

なんなのこれイラッとする。

Based Japanese Walter White

Because it is illegal without special permission. For educational purposes you can easily pick an analogous substance that is not an illegal drug but uses the same process of manufacture.

japan is only good for child prostitution and porn

meh, heat this, add KOH, drink some beers... its all good

He did a good job, he should be get an award for doing this.

>NOOO YOU CAN'T TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO MAKE ECSTASY, THAT'S ILLEGAL!

a good way to coat your ceiling in corrosive smelly shit

白ワルと

Could probably look it up on wikipedia so what’s the big deal

absolutely, UNEQUIVOCALLY based
FREE MY MAN IWAMURA

He must be a korean prof sent to ruin the image of japan

i'm telling you that average japanese don't know what mdma is
i don't mean that i don't know what ecstasy is
why Jow Forums so stupid?

so how do you cook it?

Average yes. Go in those clubs in Roppongi and you'll see people getting high on the weirdest shit lmao. At this point it'd be better to just do MDMA

The hard part is obtaining safrole

how is stuff like MDMA even invented in the first place? did some scientists just dump a bunch of random chemicals into a pan, boil it for 5 hours then dip their finger in, lick it, and say "hmm yeah this'll get me high" then call it a day?

Hydrobromination of the corresponding terminal alkene through Markovnikov addition, followed by SN2 nucleophilic substitution with methylamine. E1 elimination will be a competing side reaction.

Substituting parts of known molecules generally. Mdma specifically, not sure, but look up Alexander Shulgin's work. He catalogued an absolute shit ton of drugs

>MDMA
>with no licence
He is criminal. Stupid.

MDMA was invented as a psychopharm I think

No different than pharmaceuticals, pigments, whatever are invented. Chemists make new compounds just because. Clinicians screen chemicals for possible interesting activity. When this is found all possible related structures are screened in order to gain insight in the how and why. Usually by companies who will be quick to patent them.

That's retarded. Knowledge can't be illegal.

It was screened by Merck for use as an appetite suppressant somewhere around world war 1, but dropped because of side effects. Somewhere in the 1960s someone picked up on it again because it structurally resembled other known psychoactives.

>MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by Merck chemist Anton Köllisch. At the time, Merck was interested in developing substances that stopped abnormal bleeding. Merck wanted to avoid an existing patent held by Bayer for one such compound: hydrastinine. Köllisch developed a preparation of a hydrastinine analogue, methylhydrastinine, at the request of fellow lab members, Walther Beckh and Otto Wolfes. MDMA (called methylsafrylamin, safrylmethylamin or N-Methyl-a-Methylhomopiperonylamin in Merck laboratory reports) was an intermediate compound in the synthesis of methylhydrastinine. Merck was not interested in MDMA itself at the time. On 24 December 1912, Merck filed two patent applications that described the synthesis and some chemical properties of MDMA and its subsequent conversion to methylhydrastinine.

scientists working on that must have been like

> so this stuff stops bleeding? what would happen if i popped some in my mouth to try and staunch the blood coming out of my awful bleeding gums

how do you do that exactly?

That you have to look up in the existing literature. When a procedure is tested and found suitable and repeatable it is published in some academic journal.

I imagine it will be something along the lines of stirring a suitable solution of the corresponding alkene precursor with a high concentration of hydrogen bromide in molar excess, isolating and purifying the resulting alkyl bromide intermediate, this will require vacuum distillation. Then the latter is stirred in a suitable solution containing a high concentration of methylamine in molar excess. And isolate and purify again using vacuum distillation, isolate the amine fraction. Then make a salt from that, by neutralising it with a suitable acid.

You can find all info on the net easily, but I wouldn't assume them to be legit. Many bullshit gets passed as tried and true.

thanks, that's why i'm asking.

This is a law for doctors to use MDMA or some drugs here and every doctors including pharmacists know i.
His stupidity is a kind of far more illegal.

Your whole race is criminal. Your ancestor raped my great grandma.

My uncle was working for your country and was killed by your man recently in your country.
I will never forget it, but it's off topic as same as your post. bye
