Making Diethylamine From Bug Spray (For Totally Legal Reasons)

Duration: 6:14

I'm trying to make pain killer from bug killer (or bug deterrent...?), and step one is converting my DEET bug spray into diethylamine: a useful secondary amine that actually comprises the "D" in LSD! Despite it's use in producing that certain "acid" which took off in 60's, diethylamine is not itself psychoactive or illegal, so making and handling it is perfectly fine in the USA.

Otherwise, this preparation is actually pretty tame...and, again, COMPLETELY LEGAL AND NOT HARMFUL, RECKLESS, OR DANGEROUS...YOUTUBE. 0:00 Intro 1:05 Learning from past failures 1:29 DEET 1:44 Ingredients 2:21 Hydrolyzing DEET to diethylamine 4:16 Freebasing and redistilling 5:09 Yield 5:34 Novocaine synth, tornado chasing, and more coming soon!
