some mother did
200g isosafrole iwas diluted in 200mL DCm and 80g Becarb was added with overhead stirring, the temperature was reduced to 10C with a cold water bath, 800g peracetic acid (made as mentioned aealier and let sit for 5 days) was slowly added over ten minutes, the temperature steadily rose over ten minutes to 33C(also the colour went from colourless to pale yellow) at which time the cold water bath was drained and replaced, the temperature dropped to 26C and the water bath was removed, the temperature rose very slowly to 28C and stayed there. After 4hours, temerature 21C, 400ml of 55 NaOH was added, the solution momentarily went orange and then back to yellow. The majority of the upper layer was poured off and a further 400ml of 5% NaOH was added, this time the orange colour persisted. The aqueous layer was seperated and added to the previous aqueous layer. This aqueous was extracted with 50mL of DCm 9in retrospect i should have evoporated this to see if there was any point, I don't think there was as it was almost colourless). The DCM was distlled off and the glycol taken to 80C, 320mL of MeOH and 1500mL of 15%h2SO4 were added and the solution was reluxed for 2Hrs, heta turned off, stirredf or 15 minutes, then dumped in 2L of ice water, blah blah blah, distilled under vacuum at 140C-155 120mL of yellow oil came over (don't know pressure my gauge is fucked).
Cool huh, that is a ten fold reduction in the DCM
wacka wacka wacka
