1,4 into ghb?

[rushx79]

isnt it possible to turn 1,4 butanediol into ghb or gbl? dont you just bake it with lye or something?

You first need a crucible and propane torch to make this particular inorganic catalyst..

Then you just reflux the 1,4 to get an almost 100% conversion to GBL..

1,4 --->GHB has not been done (in situ)

I'm just curious but how bad is 1,4 BD for your liver. I have heard conflicting reports from people, some say it is totally non-toxic, some same it is very toxic. Is it more toxic than alcohol? Just curious.

its more toxic than alcohol. Having liver values monitored over a period of almost year, 1/2 tsp once a night of 1,4 raised values MUCH MUCH, more than heavy drinking in my case (your mileage may vary). Values returned to normal about 3-4 weeks after cessation of 1,4.

It is metabolized in the body by the same ezymatic pathways as alcohol.

You cannot change 1,4 into GBL or GHB, and many people who have used 1,4 have had problems with their livers. Check out this link for more info http://lab.eccentrica.org/ghb/

Well, true, YOU probably cannot... But it can be done.. Probably 10 or so different ways.
