DMSO, Dimethylsulfoxide

METHOD 2 Speed chemists have used hydroiodic acid (HI) for years to reduce ephedrine to meth. So when the government placed HI on the restricted list, speed chemists took to making the HI themselves. One of the ways they used was to make Hi in DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide, a common solvent) by reacting Nal or Kl with sulfuric acid. This a standard way to make both HBr or Hi in water (see the Chemicals section of this book) except these speed chemists were using the non-aqueous solvent DMSO instead of water. 

METHOD 3 Things start to look easier and the yields higher when the following method is employed [122]. This method uses a solvent called DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide). Maybe you ve never heard of this solvent but Strike has. It is a common solvent used in all fields of science and although Strike is not 100% sure. Strike believes that one can substitute DMF (dimethylformanilide) for DMSO.
