SWIM did his best with ketone,no one replied to my question-oh well.Seemed OK. Next SWIM followed LaBTop's procedure, with a little molar excess of NaBH4 and a little excess MeNH2,and all seemed to go OK.When doing the work up,SWIM has a not expected gray brown oily emulsion layer as well.SWIM could see oil drops in it, and has shaken with DCM to extract those freebase (hope!)oil drops .The DCM layer is a dark fleshy color on the bottom, then the "emulsion" floats on this, then a minor pinkish water layer on top of that....this water layer smells MeNH2-ish.Should swim throw it all in a flask and distill?Or distill off the DCM alone and see what's there? Thanks for tips...
