Thanks, Sir LabTop, for the reply.
SWIM had read through your boro in one pot thread, summed up to 109 posts.

You sure have helped a lot of bees

SWIM's best result is about 40%(lowest was 0%) m/m using IPA(91% purity, 99% gave lower yield), SWIM believes it is due to his technique. Wether forming of amine was the cause or any other thing, SWIM always has a lot of mdp2pol as main product. If mdp2pol is good, SWIM has alreadly found out the way to have good yield.
SWIM tried to remove water from IPA after generating of methylamine gas(methylamine.HCL solution mixed with NaOH solution, aka Barium's), by seperation. The stirring was allowed for 2 hours before seperation. Added NaBH4 solution(in water) to the IPA, and gave about 15% yield.
But one thing SWIM finds out, is the product(salt) is very good from IPA as solvent, there is no scienctific proof for this but was tested(blind test) with some other human objects.
SWIM is tyring to find out ethanol's possibility as solvent. As there is chem supplier selling it "Methylamine, 33% wt in absolute Ethanol". SWIM has read it somewhere about using ethanol, but no details described.
There is one post saying that Methanol is the solvent when using Methylamine, Ethanol is the choice when Ethylamine is used. Is this true?
