SWIM thinks that if you look at
www.rhodium.ws and then
click on chemistry, go all the way down near the bottom of
the page until you get to multimedia. There are a few little
clips on how to do basic chemistry stuff. Organic Lab
Video Clips SWIM thinks. Watch them. It's really tight. A
4L sep funnel is awesome to have for the wacker, because
by the time you add your 1.7L of 10% HCL and the stuff
that is already in there you will have way more than 2L of
stuff and have only a 2L sep funnel to work with. For this
you can do two seperate runs in half of everything. Divide
the wacker in two equal parts. Pour one half in your sep
funnel Make your 1.7L of HCL put half of it in with the
one half of the wacker. Stir for a whole second. Then do all
washes and extractions in halfs too. Do 250,125,50 ml DCM
extractions. Do two, 250ml bicarb washes, SKIP NaCL wash.
Then do three 250ml NaOH washes. You should end up with
all the same amounts maybe just a bit more. Combine both
divisions at the end and add 50G of magnesium sulfate to dry.BUT if you have a 4L sep funnel disregard everything ust mentioned. Make sure to check out those clips on Rhodium's site, they are priceless for a beginner. Z's manual is kinda wishy washy for a newbee without any experience. Be careful.
