I've found a very nice synth on the Rhodium's archive:
"1 mol of phenyl-2-nitropropene, C6H5CH=C(CH3)NO2, is dissolved with a solvent prepared by mixing 1000ml of ethanol with 500ml of acetic acid and 500ml of 12 N sulfuric acid. The resultant solution is placed in the cathode compartment of a divided electrolytic cell containing a metallic cathode of mercury, copper, or other metal of similar nature. Current is passed, using a current density of ~0.2 amp/cm2 of cathode surface. The temperature is kept at about 40°C during the electrolysis which is continued until at least eight Faradays of electricity have been passed." /Preparation of DL-Amphetamine Phosphate/
i've got some questions about of this electrolisis, because i'havent got experience in electro-chemistry (only in normal organic chem.)
What kind of tool is good for this electrolysis ? Can anybody buy ready to use cathode for this synth? What about the anode ? Water Purifier with copper cathode are good for this synth (i don't know how can i controll the I(amper)? Can anybody tell me how can built home it ?
What is the rxn time ? 10-15 minutes or more ?
