for reasons she won't get into now, yer sistah thought dmso might be an appropriate solvent for a Al/Hg reduction she's been visualizing. However, being unfamiliar with that solvents properties, she is unsure how to work-it up. The rxn product is a molecule that is very heat intolerant, so stripping off the dmso under vac is not the 1st avenue she wants to explore. A previoous rxn's product was destroyed in an attempt to steam distill the hydroxylamine out of the dmso.(dumb, i know)
come on make yer sistah smile. help!
