P2P / Hydratropic Acid

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


Hi ther Swim tried to make some p2p out of H2SO4 + Hydratropic acid, he put it together (both cooled in freezer) in an acetone/icebath, As the addition started swim noticed that the temp was already -18°C and he stoped addition for 3-5 min until it got back to 15°C then goes on adding, he stirred by shaking his erlmeyer, and then some milky vanillaice looking clouds where noticed in the flask after all was added swim noticed that in there is a lot of this mily stuff, is that p2p ?? frozen H2SO4 ?? frozen hydratropic ?? and he put the stuff on his crushed ice and now he is out to get some more DiEthyl.

Swim would be happy if anyone can help him.

Hydratropic ACID?

This is new. I have seen discussions of converting hydratropic aldehyde to P2P, Post No 102790, but not hydratropic acid.

I was a bit confused while writing swim used Haydratropic Aldehyde, so anyone here familar whith the reaction anone got same results ?? what is it in there ?? poured onto ice did melt some of the "vanillaice" stuff. it doesnt smell like hydratropic aldehyde anymore, its a bit more sweet.

Ok cheif here ar some details from swim

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


Ok guys swim did the reaction and reported a dioferent very well odor, some hydratopic smell, but seems fine as everythin  on the ice melted, the reaction was 18ml of hydratropic and 85 ml of H2SO4 96%

the main time of the procedure swim hold the temp at -13°C.


Hydratropic aldehyde:
Melting point  -60 °C

Sulfuric Acid:
-16°C as i remember (correct me if wrong)

P2P:

-15°C (chemfinder said so)


swim will freeze some of the poured remaining stuff to -20 if it freezes it will be p2p, he hopes.

any better testing method for p2p ??

I will give a full writeup if it is good stuff.

P2P or not..

You can test for P2P by forming some derivatives of it and measuring their respective melting points.

From "Organikum", 12. edition, 1973:
Phenylacetone, b.p.= 216 °C, m.p.= 27 °C

Derivatives of phenylacetone:
p-nitro-phenylhydrazone, m.p.= 145 °C
2,4,-dinitro-phenylhydrazone, m.p.= 153 °C
phenylhydrazone, m.p.= 86 °C
semicarbazone, m.p.= 199 °C

Another source states:
phenylacetone, m.p.= 27 °C, b.p.= 215 °C, d20=1.0157 g/ml, nD23= 1.5139, m.p. of semicarbazone 197...198 °C

You can test for P2P by forming some derivatives of it and measuring their respective melting points.
But to prepare derivatives and have their properties mean anything the material that you are trying to identify needs to be pure. Most all of the reagents that can be used to derivatize P2P will also form a derivative with hydratropic aldehyde.

What is needed here is a post reaction workup to separate and purify any P2P. Probably a distillation after washing with water and aqueous bicarbonate to get rid of acid.

swim just want to retry the whole reaction, so can anyone say  what p2p looks like at atmospheric pressure and describe the odor. Swim evaporated the diethyl and cooled it down to +20°C it was a paste (could still be impure cause of the hydratropic).

What cleaning methods can be used to clean it from the hydratropic ?? (else then Vac boiling cause swim doesnt hav vac pump yet)

Pale yellow liquid.

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


P2P is a pale yellow liquid. If it has just been distilled it may even be colorless but soon becomes pale yellow.

It smells like P2P. What does hydratropic aldehyde smell like?

P.S.

There is no such thing as "hydratropic"; there is "hydratropic aldehyde" and "hydratropic acid" but no "hydratropic".

P2P/hydratropic aldehyde separation

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


terbium: P2P and hydratropic aldehyde cannot be separated by distillation. Addition of a mild oxidizer to make the acid of the aldehyde (but which won't affect the P2P), followed by a NaOH wash to remove the acid will leave only P2P in the organic phase, and this is then purified by distillation.

AL/Hg/Nitro

Ok swim got the same resulting stuff as yesterday, he has about 1L diethyl ether mixed with the stuff, as swim would need more details on mixing with oxidiser and basify and then seperate and destill, he wants to know if the amalgamination could be made by with the impureitys in it too ?? Swim thinks, if the amalgam wont hurt the remaining Hydratropic aldehyde the final product can be basified, seperated, gassed. and the aldehyde will stay in the final gassed layer.

any comments ??

corrections ??

would a vac pump that creates a vacuum 0,15-0,2 bar be good enough to seperate the P2P / hydratropic as in the details from rhoiums page ?

Would be nice if some more chemicaly knowleged bee could give some help while making the reaction.

Thanks

Purification is a MUST!

 Bookmark  Reply 

 


If you subject hydratropic aldehyde to an Al/Hg reductive amination with methylamine, you will get N-methyl-2-phenylpropylamine, which to my knowledge is not tested in humans and is possibly toxic.

You must certainly remove all the aldehyde from your P2P before continuing. Ask Osmium about what OTC oxidant you should use, he must know what would work best for that.

It is not possible to effectively separate 2-phenylpropanal (bp 222°C/760mmHg) from phenyl-2-propanone (bp 214°C/760mmHg) through simple distillation, and certainly not via vacuum distillation as the boiling points are too close. Fractional distillation could theoretically be used to separate them, but the size of the column that would have to be used makes that option impractical.

Rearrangement of 2-phenyl-propanal with OTC-chemicals to produce phenylacetone. Here's what I found out about this reaction:

B) 9 g of 2-phenylpropanal are slowly (40 min) added into conc. H2SO4. Temp is kept at -16°C. Stirring might be a good idea. Let stand 15 min. (same temperature). Pour on ice. The product is collected (extracted) and distilled. Yield: 5.6g (60%).

Both procedures are from an old german journal, meaning they will *probably* really work: S. Danilov, E. Venus-Danilova, Ber. 60, 1050 (1927).

[93-53-8]; Benzeneacetaldehyde, alpha-methyl-; 2-Phenylpropionaldehyde; Alpha-methyl tolualdehyde; 2-Phenyl propanal; Alpha methyl phenylacetaldehyde; Hydratropic aldehyde; Cumenealdehyde.



Found while googeling it says that purity can be determined by smell, as swim sayed the product is not anymore smelling like the Hydratropic aldehyde. so its pure ?? only destillation need ?

If it doesn't smell like the aldehyde anymore then don't bother trying to separate it. Hydratropic aldehyde has a very strong smell, you really should be able to tell the difference between P2P and that stuff.
De-acidify the ether extract, remove the ether and distill. The icecream resembling stuff you mentioned must be some side product, don't bother to isolate it.

You cannot convert hydratropic aldehyde to atropic acid. The latter has a OH group in the 3-position, and that is not something you can attach just like that.

That compound will carry over in an acid/base extraction just like methamphetamine - I suspect it has a very similar boiling point too, so even vacuum distillation of the freebase might not help (recrystallization of the methamphetamine hydrochloride will help some though). I suggest you remove the aldehyde before your Al/Hg to minimize your problems.

Do you have TLC equipment? Then you can easily 'spot' if you have any aldehyde left in solution.

Succsess story:

85ml H2SO4 96%
18ml Hydratropic Aldehyde



The 1L roundflask Swij used was put into a mixture of ice/acetone. The Thermo was sticked next to the flask.
When the temp was at -15°C Ice cold sulfuric acid (85ml) and stribar where put in the flask. Now Swij began to have fun adding the Hydratropic aldehyde to the H2SO4 (both was cooled in freezer over one night to -13°C) at 1 drop per five seconds, while maximum stirring.Swij saw the temp rising to -13°C, used the butanecooler to get it cooled down back to -14 -15°C. When SwiJ noticed after 3-4 minutes after begin of adding it gets a creamy viscous milk he started to go over to 1 drop per second or a bit less. Still on full power stirring. t+15 minutes the addition rate was set to 1-2 drops per second. t + 60 min all was done, and the still stirring the -13°C cold milk was poured of in a Breaker with very fine cruschedice one hour after ice was molten, the hydratropic aldehyde smell was gone away and a well smell is there .

The stuff from breaker where treated with 100ml of ether shaken, seperated, again water was treated with 100ml ether shaken, seperated, last diethyl wash was with 150ml ether.

The combined Ether washs where washed with saturated NaCl, NaHCO3 and pure water.

The stuff will be about 15-16 ml after destilling over the stuff was an viscous oil.

After Al/Hg/Nitro with some problems it yielded about 11g of pure meth and swij is still running through the flat after 50mg oraly 8 hours before.

Comments Corrections are welcome.

ButaneCooler:

get of the spray mechanism of your starter fluid that has a long neck 10-15 cm, and put that onto your butangas bottle if it doesnt fit , take the adapters for the butanegas, and cut them as needed interface.if you spray it on ice it will cool alot

TWO TESTS FOR ALDEHYDES

Fehling Solution Reagent.

This test reagent reacts ONLY with aldehydes. If a solution contains a mixture of aldehyde and ketone it will react only with the aldehyde and a false result will be interpreted as the compound being an aldehyde.
Another false reading is with benzaldehyde, C6H5-CHO, and aldehyde compounds of similar nature. Although an aldehyde, it will not react with the reagent and thus you may interpret that the compound is a ketone.


Fehling Solution is prepared in two parts, Solution A & B.

Solution A.

7 grams of copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate, CuSO4 . 5H2O dissolved in 100 mls of demineralised water.

Solution B.

12 grams of sodium hydroxide and 5 grams of sodium or potassium 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (sodium or potassium tartrate acid) in 100 mls of demineralised water.

Test Procedure.

Place 5 mls of Solution A in a testtube. Add dropwise, Solution B, until a deep blue solution is formed. This deep-blue solution is a copper complex ion solution.

Place 1-2 mls of this deep-blue solution into another smaller testtube. Add 3-5 drops of the compound you want to test. Heat the reagent and test-compound with a bunsen burner or hot oil bath until it gently boils for 1-3 minutes. A red precipitate of copper(I) oxide deposits on the bottom of the testtube indicated an aldehyde.

The deep-blue copper(I) complex is reduced by the aldehyde. The aldehyde is inturn oxidised.



Dimedone Reagent.

Dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) reacts to form a crystalline derivative ONLY with aldehydes.

The condensation products of dimedone and aldehyde are called alkylidene dimethones. The alkylidene dimethones are almost insoluble in water, but can be crystallised from dilute ethanol.

Test Procedure.

Add 0.1 grams of the test-aldehyde to 5 mls of a 50/50% ethanol/water solution, add 2 mls of a 10% or saturated ethanolic solution of Dimedone.

If a precipitate does not form immediately, warm for 5 minutes; if the solution is still clear at the end of this period, add hot water until the mixture is just cloudy and cool to about 5 oC. Collect the crystalline precipitate by filtration.

Hii guys,

Swij gave the final product to his best friend who works for a company that normaly analyses drugs from busts. He got ther results today, it was 97% pure methamph, 1.3% carbon, 0.2% NaOH (dunno where it came from) and then a lot of 0.1% organic stuff i cant speak out the names, and some ng of Mercury and Al ??

swij recrystalysed the stuff with HCL bubbeling, the Ether was bubbeled and filtered 3 times, washed the final product with Acetone, then dissolved in destilled water rebasifyed with NaOH, extraxted with ether, again bubbled and filtered, wash with pure acetone.

Swij only use the chems that say For Analyses to do the last steps.

Wizard: can this "testing" Solution in larger quanities be used to get rid of the last hydratropic aldehyde in the solution ?? or what by products will be created ??

That is cleaner than my drinking water!!!

Ya get more aluminum than that from boiling water in an aluminum pot.  And the fish around here would love water that had that little Hg.  Of course around here the fish just lay on the bottom they are so full of heavy metalswink

Fractional recrystallization from alcohol would be the only way I can see to get a purer product.  Then you would wind up with really pure along with some stuff of that contained more impurities.

Hello,After scouring the net for a couple of days Ive become a tad confused as to which aldehyde I am to theoretically persue.From what I have gleened from Rhodiums site and the recent couple of threads posteded on this topic Im after Phenylacetaldehyde cas# 93-53-8.
My problem is the inconsistancy in description of the numerous synonyms for Hydratropic aldehyde and their corresponding cas numbers and formula over a range of suppliers websites.
Could somebody be so kind as to show me the formula and correct cas number, plus any other descriptives applicable to the compound in question and or anything I should most definately steer clear of.

This an example  http://www.lothar-streeck.de/ingredie/ingredie-157.html
same molecule (I think)different cas number.

This seems to be the case for every site iI visit.
E.g same synonym different formula or same formula different cas number ect.

Any help advice would be most humbley appreciated.Thankyou.

P.s. If the above is the correct compound,I believe it may be abundant in a strain of the hyacinth flower.For what its worth.

Edit:oops sorry Wizard X missed that.
     Still whats with this inconsistancy

Your find:            C
8 H8  O
Hydratropic aldehyde: C
9 H10 O

No structure at al yet:

THERE IS 1 C atom and  2 H Atoms more in the hydratropic aldehyde so it can't be Hydratropic aldehyde, it has nothing to do with structure, its simply another molecule.

So please, READ and not run and ask is this the stuff you meaned (?????) if it has a different sum formular.

BTW, has anybee got information on the Darzens' synthesis of hydratropic aldehyde ? ie: lab procedure. I have already posted about the synthesis from styrene, see Post No 320196, but a new thread on the Darzens method would be interesting.

Yes, the Darzens method is linked from the bottom of http://www.rhodium.ws/chemistry/2-phenylpropanal.html

Test reagents

I have given you the aldehyde test reagents so you can test how successful you have been with the rearrangement of the 2-Phenylpropanal.

If you wish you can use the Dimedone reagent to purify your reaction mixture, distillation is far better.


Dimedone Reagent.

Dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) reacts to form a crystalline derivative ONLY with aldehydes.

The condensation products of dimedone and aldehyde are called alkylidene dimethones. The alkylidene dimethones are almost insoluble in water, but can be crystallised from dilute ethanol.

Test Procedure.

Add 0.1 grams of the test-aldehyde to 5 mls of a 50/50% ethanol/water solution, add 2 mls of a 10% or saturated ethanolic solution of Dimedone.

If a precipitate does not form immediately, warm for 5 minutes; if the solution is still clear at the end of this period, add hot water until the mixture is just cloudy and cool to about 5 oC. Collect the crystalline precipitate by filtration.

Ok thanks for the reply's,

Swim has still enough Hydratropic aldehyd floating around and 100g Mercury(II)chlorid is here to, has anyone expirience with that synt ??

HgCl2 + Hydratropic aldehyde = P2P  + ??

can Swim recover the Mercury chlorid ?
can Swim exchange the HgCl2 with HgS or Hg2Cl2 ??

Would be happy for help for that synth too.

Next writeup then soon too.

Best regards

mercury

I don't think anyone here has tried that, as mercury is so hideously toxic, and that the reaction also needs to be performed under pressure in a bomb.

If you really are to try that out, do you have a safe container to perform the reaction in, and what are your plans for collecting the mercury waste so that you aren't dumping 100g into the environment?

As sulfuric acid worked so well catalyzing the reaction, I feel it would be unnecessary to perform the second most toxic procedure found at my page (only the oxythallation of alpha-methylstyrene is worse)... All in all, I advise against it. There are MANY other new and novel methods to try out - you've really got the right spirit wanting to try as many new things as possible, but *please* stay away from the super-heavy metals.

If there is a parallell between this Hg reaction and the similar one with thallium, then I believe a soluble Hg2+ salt must be used, such as the chloride, nitrate or acetate.

swim wanted to use an old fire extinguisher would that work ?

What else synth. with mostly common / non toxic compounds would you prefer ? as swim has problems getting chems at here, else he would have tryed more synth's already.

pm. me some stuff you would like to have tested (swim doesn't have much money to get starting chemicals at the moment so please choose cheap synth's)

No, not a modified fire extinguisher under high pressure, filled with a lethal poison. Please.

I have lots and lots of things that should need a little testing, but I have no idea about which chemicals you can get, or what kind of laboratory equipment and skills you have...

I guess that your primary goal is to end up with meth or any of the usual precursors. At least that narrows it down a bit. Are grignard reactions too hard for you?

This compound (Phenpromethamin) is controlled by the german BtmG. Don't know if it's good, though.

never search any sense in laws like the btmg. cathinone is also listed in category 1 of the btmg and only works as good as plain old coffee does.

Word of advise never work with Hydratropic aldehyde with out using gloves it really does not go well with your skin it still lingers on you after 2 washes,  + it dissolved my plastic measuring beaker frown
