Then do more searches on terbium and/or other words you might guess would be relevant. The info is here but other than a few strange words I know very little of this stuff.

A very Balkan name you've got.

when the local Balkans gathered to talk of the "old country" it always ended with a fight

Ooooops my bad! I misread yer post!
You mean catalysts...not cattleasses!wink

Oh Well...I still wouldn't just throw anyone in the mixwinksmile

Have you checked Rhodiums Site for the answer?

Remember, it's not,
"Hi, how are you?" it's
"How high are you?"

      please elaborate.     

swio will assume that this dream will reach it's end at amphetamine.
If so then look around more before asking q's that will just get your ass flamed.
If you really have benzaldehyde and nitroethane, and want amphetamine, then the 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene->amphetamine is your go and the easiest.
ACtually, given the fact that you have little or no knowledge  of this reaction, let me bee the first to say UTFSE-or-use the fukkin search engine.  ALOT!!!
and visit rhodium's page and read then read more and more etc..
then you may ask q's
THis shite is just my luck. swio has been rakkin her brain, trying to find a way to ask some q's re: her first methylamine synth from ammon. chlor and formalin etc with a view to nitropropene al a barium->iron reduction to p2p->al/hg to d,l,meth.
this project is about to l launch in about 2 hours, and your half assed question has most definately got osmium(whom i was hoping to butter up for some ghalf assed answers) looking for his morning 1000mg angry pills.
Now it's back to the drawing board and change my approach to the great os.
a soothing approach may help?
Or mnaybe wait weeks for the man to relax AGAIN
SHEEEEEESH!

      Trying to get to amphetamine.....     

A quote from the past.......java



Why don't you want to use the most simple route via condensation of benzaldehyde + nitroethane and subsequent alanate (LiAlH4) reduction?

For a stereoselective route look into Tet. Asym. 4: 1619 (1993)
