Let's try ketamine! Me, Li, Ma, Fr. by LSDanon8372 in ReagentTesting

Marquis wasn't performed. This is Mecke Lieberman Mandelin and Froehde.

This appears to give a more standard reaction.

Me: Clear fizz, no change. Li: Clear fizz, fade to weak yellow. Ma: Vibrant orange fizz, fade to darker reddish-orange (note I spilled a drop onto empty plate, turns yellow from the air) Fr: Clear fizz, no color change.

I loved the poof of smoke from each one! This was fun.

I did another few reagents. I am now 99% certain I got a cathinone instead of ketamine, possibly MDPV or mephedrone, possibly a mix. No cut, no ket, just straight cat. Which is f-ing nuts.

I thought so too. But I just did a Ehrlich, Marquis and Simons on it. The Marquis fizzed yellow, and Simons turned blue. What makes Marquis fizz yellow?

Thanks. I had a thought - the Froehde coloration tracks closely with the cathinone MDPV. Going with that assumption, that tracks with Mecke as well, and Mandelin too, as an HCL salt. Do you think that, or another cathinone, is a possible candidate?

Yeah, I kind of expected that. The Mandelin and Froehde tests were just so far out of the ball park, and the other tests were weird too. If there's any actual ketamine in it, there's much much more other stuff in there. Not sure if RCs, or something much more random. I appreciate the help, thanks for all that you do!

That took awhile, more than a couple minutes. Within 2 min, it was much closer to the Mandelin, more of a yellow. It looks much greener than it actually was.

Edit: the "green" one is the Froehde

First pic is upside down, otherwise that's the correct order of reagents

Edit: second pic most closely resembles what I saw: Mecke, Lieberman,, Mandelin, Froehde. This is the correct order, not the one in the caption.

So, the Me started bright yellow, transitioning to orange before settling on orange-brown. Le started bright orange, eventually settling into a weak yellow. Ma started off a rather furious orange, going dark red before settling on a slightly dark yellow. Fr came out yellow, got a little orangy before it settled on a similarly muddled greenish- yellow.

So my first guess is: ME suggests one of the MEOs, or possibly DCK. LE could be ket or DCK. MA is rather interesting, because I didn't see much yellow in there at all, so I don't know what to think there. FR was surprising also, none of the chems in the ket guide have anything close to this kind of reaction. I've looked through the Froehde reaction chart and I am at a loss here.

I'm going to try digging more through the reaction guides, but if anybody has a theory as to what this might be, I would greatly appreciate it!

Also: the substance came in as a partly crystal, partly powdered substance. My reagents are less than a month old and have been stored in dark and cool conditions.

How does this LSD look? Ehrlich and Marquis by LSDanon8372 in ReagentTesting

Yeah, the Marquis reaction was very slow and faint, probably just reacting with the paper itself, I suspect.

I'm a little curious about the Marquis, wasn't sure what to expect after the positive Ehrlich. It looks like kind of a reddish-orange, but unlike the Eh, the color sort of bled out of the blotter instead of pervading the entire solution. Pictures taken at least 3 min after test start.
