I'll never forget my mentor pulling out the piece of paper towel stuffed into the condenser and him saying "smell that" before smelling I asked what am I looking for, his response it'll smell good but you know its bad for ya. Haha Phenylacetone. Your correct.

Remember to make sure you check the PH if the Suzi is not alkaline to litmus you won't get anything back from your RM mixture once you reflux. After you get your tolly from the AB what I usually do is steam destill it one more time so it is looking pure and clean before the hypo/I cook.. Its...

Is the sodium sulfate just used as a drying agent for the DCM? Is there a reason to use Sodium sulfate over magnesium sulfate?

87ml **

Thank you friend I brought a Chemistry microwave as my favourite method of P2P is the leuckart. Shit yield but amine packed full of power.

Yes easily

When using N-Methylformamide is 89.5ml 1.5 mol in your ratio @OrgUnikum

Never mind about the Tartaric question, I worked it out today. Thanks friend.

Thank you friend, looks like I'll be sticking to the mantle.

When you say yields are not stellar what type of percentage are we talking? Is it not similar too the study above with the Methly derivative of formamide? The reason for the use of D-(-)-Tartaric instead of the natural derived one is because I have it readily available and free. The solid mass...

I've read articles where hypophosphorous has been been used in Microwave irradiation, iodine too being used in Microwave environment so I was wondering does anyone have any information on a Microwave irradiation of a Birch Reduction using hypo, Iodine and Psuedoephadrine? Theoretically I...

Once I was 2hrs into dancing with the flask, and the power went out and ***** me the Susi didn't convert over and it was a shit job the next 48 hrs finding it in the RM mixture, so no if you don't reflux and only mix for 1.5hrs you'll be wasting your time and susi

Has anyone tried or have any information of a Birch Reduction using Microwave irradiation, preferably using a Hypo/I route?

Wait a second.. @OrgUnikum does that mean that after drying the methylene chloride you can potentially just start adding D-(-)-Tartaric acid (cas 147-71-7) and participating d-meth salt?? If so is there anymore literature on microwave irradiation? You guys are worth your weight in gold thank you.

It wouldn't be pure Susi pills its probably gak at the bottom, you can do an Acid base extraction and the susi will cone over in the non-polar solvent I recommend toluene.
