Last couple of times I’ve gotten green color. Frustrating since I thought I used much less Cucl2 this time. Tried extracting with a Xylene and got a dark green in the organic layer and a light green in the other layer. When washing with Dh20, it formed a gooey white bottom layer. Have no clue...

Just curious. Would this reaction work with Nitromethane added shortly before the CuCl2 addition? Would it ruin the process or would you end up with MethAmp?

DCM will work just fine. So to most other NP solvents

Keep us posted.. I was able to distil off the IPA and very miniscule amount of product came over with the IPA. Finally got to see the oil floating. Since I didn't have a vacuum working at the time I extracted with a NP. Worked just find. Interesting though was the yellow-ish orange color thst...

I added a small amount of CH₃COOH to kill the Nabh4 before filtering.

Thanks for your response and @Casualchemist writeup.. I myself have been keeping it way to cool on the initial adding of the propene as well. My first attempt went exactly like I anticipated. Or so I thought. But I believe when adding the acid, the xtals that formed in acetone and IPA were...

You'll end up with an intermediate and still need to reduce it with Zinc-HCL to the disired product.

Good idea on both.. Makes me wonder if others who aren't experiencing any effects are just consuming a S ton of NaCl and little but of amp.

Will any of the Naoh solution make in into the ISO/Amp layer? If so upon salting would Na Sulfate/Nacl also form with the Amp? The reason I ask if because I recently did this rxn on a small scale and everything worked amazingly amd yield was much more than expected.. For whatever reason I'm...

What salt form did you go for with the 4FA? Or I guess what is the most common? I read @Brain response it says it’s not hydroscopic. It that all salt forms?

In the video it says Acetone is added to the Ipa/base solution. I don't see the Ipa being evaporated off. If it possible to do without the evap step?

Wondering this myself. Unless I'm mistaken or missing something.. We evap IPA to leave FB then add IPA/Acetone. Can't we go straight to Acetone/Sulfuric since it's already in IPA?
