20. Acetic anhydride seizures, 1990 1994 17

41. On the average, a steady increase since 1989 may be observed in seizures of acetic anhydride, a key chemical used in illicit heroin manufacture.

While there are substitutes for acetic anhydride, they are less readily available.

1,4 Cyclohexadiene

Acetic anhydride is used in the illicit manufacture of heroin and methaqualone.

Seizures of acetic anhydride, shown in figure 20, in contrast with seizures of the solvents and acids discussed above, have increased in recent years.

43. Apart from acetic anhydride, the other main precursors required for the manufacture of methaqualone are anthranilic acid and N acetylanthranilic acid.

Nevertheless, in south west Asia there have been reports of suspicious movement and seizures of acetic acid, which is not under international control but is the precursor of acetic anhydride.

(c) In Kazakstan, large amounts of acetic anhydride were manufactured and illicitly used to manufacture heroin in so called kitchen laboratories

The increasing trend may reflect the targeting of acetic anhydride by law enforcement authorities.

The Government of Croatia indicated that, in 2003, a seizure of 20,330 kg of acetic anhydride had been made as a result of cooperation among Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro.

In 1995, over 75 tonnes of acetic anhydride were seized in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan on their way to Afghanistan.

I mean, folic acid, iron tablets very cheap, affordable cures exist to control anemia.

Similarly, many cases involving the diversion or attempted diversion of acetic anhydride, which is used for the illicit conversion of morphine to heroin, have involved very large quantities.

Potatoes and sauerkraut again?

A portion of potatoes and sauerkraut!

Same thing here. Cold potatoes and sauerkraut.

India also produces large quantities of precursors, such as acetic anhydride, significant amounts of which are smuggled to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Myanmar for use in the clandestine manufacture of morphine and heroin.

For example, the Government of the Russian Federation indicated that a controlled delivery operation had been conducted in November December 2002 jointly with the law enforcement authorities of Turkey to seize 4,000 kilograms (kg) of acetic anhydride.

With regard to Operation Purple and Operation Topaz, the international initiatives for tracking shipments of potassium permanganate and acetic anhydride, the Commission noted that the monitoring of international trade in those substances, as a result of participating countries providing and responding to pre export notifications, had continued to function well.

They keep horses, cows and goats for the production of milk, cheese and yoghurt.

Well, you needn't look so sour about it.

We could use amino acids, we could use nucleic acids, carboxylic acids, fatty acids.

(a) Several major seizures of precursor chemicals, mainly acetic anhydride, had been made during 1996 in States of the region, and attempted diversions had been foiled in India, Pakistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan

for me, it's ocean acidification.

I sat so long my legs hurt.

Dogs can distinguish two very similar fatty acids, extremely diluted caprylic acid and caproic acid.

Regular exchange of information between exporting, importing and transit States, and with the International Narcotics Control Board, on exports of precursors before they take place, including, in particular, the provision by exporting States of some form of pre export notification to the competent authorities in importing countries for all transactions involving the substances listed in Table I, and for acetic anhydride and potassium permanganate in Table II, of the 1988 Convention.

In addition, the action plan called for expanding the application of measures related to information exchange, measures similar to those already existing for substances in Table I of the 1988 Convention, to include acetic anhydride and potassium permanganate, two substances in Table II of the Convention that are critical for the illicit manufacture of heroin and cocaine, respectively.

In fact, in 1997, 2,455.550 kg of heroin, 13,357.817 kg of hashish, 4,255.14 kg of morphine base, 1,125.258 kg of cannabis, 22,440.440 kg of acetic anhydride, 100 g of cocaine, 20,000 amphetamine tablets and 1,080 kg of sodium bicarbonate that were confiscated in Turkey were found to be linked with the PKK and 551 PKK offenders were caught in connection with the issue.

This juice tastes sour.

They're very repetitive, and they're very rich in the amino acids glycine and alanine.
