Obviously some people had more trouble understanding that than I did. If you scroll down you'll notice there are comments where he elaborates on what he did; it makes much more sense that way!

He produces methyl nitrite gas gradually by dripping methanolic sodium nitrite into sulfuric acid -- the gas is produced relatively quickly and is not soluble, so immediately boils and is bubbled into methanol. The sol'n in the reaction vessel is very dilute: he uses fully 1.75 liters of methanol. That's why it works at normal temperatures without all the MeONO boiling away.

I suggest it makes more sense to add nitrite to acid than to add acid to nitrite. Nitrous acid is unstable at high concentrations. Distillation is a plus as well.

I thought it was quite a clever setup, but I'm used to understanding broken English -- foreigner English is the majority language at my university.

this was in response to a now deleted post from fresh1

and im a spice sock puppet not the other way around.. spiceboy taught me everything i know, i owe it all to him.. why the f you think i am the 02 wacker specialist!!

dont be so fucking dis respectfull you POS fresh1 hypnos whatever

you rant on about the SRV as tho you know..

Spiceboy Reaction Vessel <<<<---- get it?

Man you dont know anything at all about chemistry i know you dont.. Nothing about atoms electrons molecules bonds NOTHING AT ALL wouldnt know an aldehyde or ketone or carbox nor how to make any of them seriously

anything you write is dug up from archives and the info is outdated. the only chemistry fresh has ever done is extract the fent from patches with a solvent then shoot it up his arm. you can tell hes bent or half asleep by his posting style,,,

its just the truth guys im sorry if im off topic but seriously how would you feel if this happened to you but the guy still trolls around stinging and talking shit

spice has like 6 stings all from fresh obviously

I don´t know anthing at all about chemistry too..that´s really matters?...
It´s so sad read that kind of  things when someone arrives since moths ago,...i think seriously you guys should talk that things privately,...it´s a shame to the forum read that shit

not to bring the tread off its vector, but I was referring to fresh1 protesting not to be hypnos/carl_annibus/LE/whatev...

A rather useful paper was requested by myself and subsequently uploaded by roid rage in last months reference request thread. It is worth digging up for those interested. Major improvements to the practice.

If you can't be hassled to even find the paper with a search, then its contents are most likely outside your abilities.

sorry professor.


i dont need to read past the title to know it has no relevance.

efficient and HIGHLY ALDEHYDE SELECTIVE wacker oxidation

your sitting on a real gem there my friend good luck with it


Just to clear up the above, fresh 1 deleted his post after he realized how disrespectfull he was being, i was replying to him, not you nigluhS.. what you said is off Little Brittan ;)

Yeah. I'm not stupid enough to follow it as a synthetic path in this instance but it does contribute to the understanding of the role of solvent/ water combination in the wacker doesn't it. Such an understanding might just allow one to increase yields - not necessarily by following the synthesis in it.

Besides, just because you are having some sort of bitch fight with another member doesn't mean you should immediately engage in sarcasm. I had, obviously incorrectly, assumed you were going to be smart enough to read the article to understand the factors but I don' really give a fuck if you don't! the paper is still a very interesting development in Wacker chemistry. It will open up new precursor pathways.

what is new about it?

it uses more chems than the regular pbenz wacker, and achieves a perfect yeild of something we dont want

it still uses p-benz 115%molar    <<<--

it uses 2.5%molar PdCl2(MeCN)2  <<--

so react your palladium with acetonenitrile to get the catalyst

then the solvent is tert bulyl alcohol which is about the only thing of interest

all this to achieve a perfect yield of aldehyde - which is exactly what we do not want.. we want the more delicate KETONE which is a lower oxidation state.. this is why it is difficult to oxidise the alkene to a ketone without "over oxidizing"

ketone, aldehyde, carbox

now i will grant you that there is a wacker oxidation with tert butyl alcohol, PdCl2 and i think H202. This one achieves high yeilds of methyl ketone and little aldehyde in the refs

member formerly known as palladium knows a little about this one and it is a promising route. As for the methyl nitrite wacker, i believe it was sunlight who was working on this one and claiming all sorts of results.. i have been through this and the verdict seems to be everyone who has done the methyl nitrite wacker has achieved poor results.. ask jon he will tell you


im not bitch fighting with any members and i apologise for how i come across i really mean no disrespect. the weasel deletes his comments after i reply making me look like the aggressor. As far as im concerned it is over. As long as you all know what happened and are happy for him to hang around then thats how it goes

let it be known. seed crystal your ketone, the saf will ALL freeze to the bottom..

let me modify this... mix "ketone" fresh from an o2 wacker or other clean oxidation reaction, with naptha.. Put this in the freezer for a couple days and the safrole freezes to the bottom and the remaining ketone is still dissolved in the naptha...

when i was workin my magic i was all about finding new methods and trying new things to make it easier on future wanna bees.. i got my results but i wasted so much product trying new things in new short cut ways so i could move our community forward.. i was deep deep into things and wanted to make new ground... thats when i met fresh1 or hypnos or hazy or all the other alias he goes by..
and thats when he ruined my life and destroyed my spirit. the most horrible leech drug addict dullard just has you by the balls and your whole life is in his hands.. he ruined my fuking life, i didnt  isolate myself and cut of every social connection in my life for nothing.. my early 20s were fucking nothing because of that rat.. anyways its over now all i can do is pass the torch

we cant have addicts amongst us unless thay are smart smart.. i will say this.. if anyone posts too much in the opiates threads without offering anything back, ban them

Not to bring up old shit, but before any of the noobs decide to spout off at the mouth about anything they think they may know.... There are quite a few names on this board that i recognize from many years ago.  Respect should be given to everyone for one thing, but more-so to the people that pioneered most of the procedures that ridiculous amounts of people follow worldwide.  Some are dated, some are archaic, and some are still the shit to this day, all of them signed by those names are valid and a stepping stone in the quest for perfection.  Anyway, new on this board, just saw this and got irritated.  I feel much better now.
