I think I've accidentally run bromosafrole through an E1 reaction and ended up with a bunch of what I think is isosafrole. I've searched and searched but can't find any information on bringing it back to safrole. I mean isosafrole is great at all, but I don't have much use for it as I'm working with the halo derivatives..
Also, any tips on determining if this is actually isosafrole? It smells similar to safrole but the smell is much weaker than safrole and has a bit of a chemical smell to it. I'm showing density at about 1.12 g/cm3 which matches with literature. Distills at about 96C at low vacuum.
Thoughts?
Also....first post! Hello Vespiary. The forum's great and I hope to be contributing in the near future.
