I know I’m delusional but I’m actually curious.

    not at all. nigh impossible in general, and absurdly difficult. It would take total synthesis, with dozens of deadly reagents that you could never get your hands on or would immediately kill you. even if you did, the yield would literally take a microscope to see.

      also, the yield has a 80 20 chance to be toxic chemical waste that would kill you by proximity

        maybe, with cutting edge tech and a team of seasoned chemists you could make three drops of Nandrolone and half a gallon of superdeathpoison 3000.

          So it’s still possible?

          But seriously, I can tell why my chemistry teacher got fed up with my antics lol. Thanks!

            Is it possible in the strictest sense of chemical theory? Yes. it’s “possible” because they share the same building blocks. Is it possible in the context of human capability and practical chemistry? Absolutely not. like I said, even if you had a professional-grade laboratory, the reagents required to force linear fats into steroid rings (such as various organometallic catalysts or Birch reduction chemicals like liquid ammonia and lithium) are: HIGHLY VOLATILE

            EXTREMELY TOXIC

            EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE

            It would be so complex that you probably wouldn’t get a single gram of Nandrolone because of the complexity of the steps alone.
