Hi /x/ I'm an experienced organic chemist and I have figured out a practical way to synthesize dicyanin A from paracetamol (OTC pain killer tablets). Of course you will still need basic OChem training and lab experience to pull this off, but next to this the process is pretty straight forward. In fact the whole process is a good way to get familiar with basic organic chemistry.
I can outline the process in this thread, but my real question for you would be on the legality of dicyanin A. From what I heard it is banned in the USA, but I am not in the USA, so how does that go for the rest of the world?
Supposing all is legal, would there be interest in a video tutorial of the process?

Even if there is a problem with legality of the final product, I can still show you how to make the direct dicyanin A precursor (2,4-dimethyl-6-ethoxyquinoline) from paracetamol. So the product that is 1 step away from dicyanin A.
I'm quite experienced in the lab, but I don't want to break laws let alone be "suicided" or experience a freak accident.
Anyway, pic related outlines the process. Paracetamol is extracted from OTC pain killer tablets. This is ethylated under gentle conditions using ethyl iodide, as to only attack the ring oxygen and avoid attack on the nitrogen. The resulting product is hydrolysed to obtain 4-ethoxyaniline.
Ethyl iodide is made from ethyl bromide by Finkelstein swap with sodium iodide. Ethyl bromide is distilled from an ethanol/sulfuric acid/sodium bromide mixture.
Acetaldehyde is made either using the classic route from ethanol with sodium dichromate. But since dichromate is a listed carcinogen banned in some countries, alternative processes can be considered. Paraldehyde is obtained by polymerisation of acetaldehyde.
The acidic aldol condensation product from acetaldehyde and acetone is added to the previously prepared 4-ethoxyaniline under conditions that will close the ring, forming 2,4-dimethyl-6-ethoxyquinoline which is the direct precursor to dicyanin A.
The final step to dicyanin A involves adding some of the previously prepared ethyl iodide set aside for this purpose and silver nitrate.

Nothing of what I claimed is speculation, every step is backed up by practical experiment in the chemical literature. Pic related is one of the original papers on dicyanin A synthesis.

I'm glad you came through. I'm very interested in the prospect of you making a video to outline the process and use of materials, as chemistry was never my strong suit. Assuming this works, I'd be note than willing to invest the money and time (perhaps even risk?) To replicate dicyanin. Godspeed, anon.

People in the halfchan thread are discussing stacking colored gel filters instead of dicyanin to mimic the effect. Kind of skeptical of the idea, bit it might be worth research.

I've made a list of spending costs, I think I can manage it over a 6 month window from start to finish, the whole project. The minimum glassware needed is a distillation setup and a separatory funnel. All stuff that can be bought from ebay.

That's not going to work. The specific properties of this dye is that it photosensitizes to the near IR spectrum. No other dye except from the dicyanin class is able to do that that I know of.

This goes without saying, but when this is said and done you probably should upload it outside of YouTube. Also how do you plan to combat the decomposition? It's not worth it if the goggles become obsolete during creation.

Explain this in retard-speak for me if you don't mind. I thought the only point of these goggles was to block out most of the visible spectrum and leave just the edge of red and violet

The decomposition is caused by exposure to UV light and oxygen in air. Keep in mind that the book was written in the 1910s, today there exist cheap stabilisation agents that specifically counteract radical induced (UV) oxidation/polymerisation. The one I'm thinking of is called butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), it is used a lot in products that otherwise would not survive, vitamins in skin ointment for example, and only needs to be added at a concentration of 0.1% to be effective.
BHT is one of the most commonly used stabilisation agents today and available at a low cost, one particular supplier sells 250 grams for 10 euros, which would last a lifetime at least.
Still it will probably be preferable to store the glasses shielded from daylight when not using them.

No else one wouldn't even need the dicyanin. What makes it special is that it photosensitizes the otherwise invisible near IR range up to 9000 Angstroms, and shifts it into the visible spectrum by shifting the chromatic focus of the eye when looking through a dicyanin colored plate.
Here is some further reading material on it. Needs to be viewed through a USA proxy if not in USA though for copyright law reasons.

The newer aura goggles were not made with Dicyanin A. A newer dye was found that was more effective. The new dye that was used was Pinacyanol Bromide as it was claimed to be more stable than Dicyanin A.

You can buy dank new updated glasses from russia no need to make your own, but they are expensive, you can see all the bands of light with the stalker model. https://mindmachine.ru/catalog/en/stalker/

OC here
You don't need acetaldehyde for the formation of the Mesityl Oxide. Just acid and acetone.
I really don't understand why its even there, because it enables the cross products.
You could also use a base.
Pics related.
Note that the barium hydroxide is used as dehydrating agent, and you could just use silica instead.
See the cross products in the last one.
