Love this Synthesis, did it for the first time, works reasonably good with 50 % yield, i think i didn't thoroughly extract the aqueous phase. Just feels alot better then the reaction via mercury nitrate since even with protective gear that always kinda feels like your poisoning yourself...

i want to setup everything i need to do this reaction, i am not certain about my vacuum source bc its my first time working with vacuum evaporation, i am looking at a fairly cheap Vacuum pump that is aperently pulling 5 Pa ultimate vacuum. That is a pretty deep vacuum as far as i understand it...

Yes its legal but bioethanol is cheaper, less suspicious and can be easily be sourced in large qunateties offline which i think makes it preferable if it is possible to use it.

i will try that thank you, by the way, is it possible to substitute the IPA with for example bioethanol ? would be much easier to source than IPA in larger quanteties.

This reaction is working quit well for me, managed to do a few test runs of 20grams in a thick 7 liter HDPE barrel with efficiency reaching about 60 %ish after drying on low temperature in a dehumidifyer. got a little overacidification in some batches but overall its a very nice white substance...

So i could substitute the acetone with more IPA distill it after use and use the procedure described under 1) in the solvents recovery Thread ? That would be great becuase it would make recovering the solvents so much easier since you only have to think about the IPA.

I would like to know something about recovering solvents in this particular reaction, really just to lower cost and reduce my footprint. As far as i understand it the final layer consists of (in terms of solvents) IPA and then sulfuric acid in acetone is added wich means that after the solution...
