MDA with NaBH4 and am acetate review.

[scram]

Regarding EDTA: I could really use this information. What amount would be needed for ketone. Just a saturated solution? There are still too much copper compounds left in undistilled ketone even after 6 to 8 a/b washes.

[Rhodium]

Each molecule of EDTA complexes one copper atom. I don't know how much copper there is in your solution.

what about ammonia? Doesnt ammonia complex with copper ions also?
To bee or not to bee, that IS the question.

[Rhodium]

Yes, just not as strongly. Ammonia would react with MDP2P though.

Just to remember you that the CTH reductive amination with ammnonium formate and Pd/C on MDP2P has shown to give high yields of MDA, check my post about it.
