Hello, I am in the process of creating pentobarbital. 100$ scientific purposes. Seeing how everything reacts etc. However i am stuck. Here is the procedure i am following.
(mod edit: detailed procedure removed)
However i am stuck at step 4. Do i add the urea to the steel cup containing the malonic acid, or do i add it t9 the ethanol and sodium metal mixture? And what is the purpose of the malonic acid in the seperate steel cup? Is it for a non direct reaction, and after its done, will the malonic acid disappear? Or do i add it to the sodium mixture or discard it? The procedure was not bery helpful! Thank you
