Hi. Aluminum source for Al/Hg reductive amination of MDP2P. Successful operators are using
what? Foil? Pie plates? Aluminum wire? None of the above.

In the past internet howtos often recommended Reynolds heavy duty foil as a good product for this.
Other people pushed the idea of longer reactions with aluminum sheet.

The Reynolds heavy duty foil in the store now has some kind of no-stick feature on it.

Any thoughts? tia

There is a rather lengthy discussion somewhere around here on this sort of thing. Please to all out new members... don't make this into a forum where we have to cry UTFSE over and over, I just hate seeing that. I understand its a legit concern and I have learned something new recently myself which I Wish I knew back in the day but the point is information is free and its everywhere so please.... Dont waste our bandwidth without searching first. Someone pays for that you know and until Vesp gets a nice fat donation from people asking the same questions over and over im required to post this little disclaimer.

PS: yall start droppin some serious dough on donations im sure Vesp could care less WTF yall post as long as that gravy train keeps a rolling

just go to the store and get any alfoil , st there taring it into strips and scrunching them into balls that will do fine. it really is not critical

That's utter nonsense, any aluminum should bee tested before risking precious and irreplaceable reagents    Using the wrong aluminum foil can cause serious problems like a geyser ejecting from the top of the flask    Just because you've gotten by with careless practices doesn't mean it's a good idea

I'd do it already, but am too broke at the moment. If I get the chance I will no doubt donate to Vesp and this wounderful site he has created, and that Sedit fellow isn't such a bad person either, Smart and good looking


Awww shucks your making me blush , Ahhh haha forgive me I couldn't resist.
