Sunlight:
Congratulations, fine to read your work. A question about the distillation, in the regular benzo wacker with DMF, the range of temp is wide, about 25 C, and the distillate contains crystalline solids. The yield in the conversion of that ketone to aminee is low, so the real yield of ketone is not really good, 50-60 %. In your experience did you observe this winde range of temp in distillation and solid impurities or the rxn seems more clean ?

Dope_Amine:
Thanks Sunlight!

No solid impurities were noted. There wasn't much left in the distilling flask at all.  The temp range that it came over was ~10 °C. Unfortunately, the H-nMR taken was from darker yellow residue on the side of the distilling flask (Max was being a cheap-skate, won't do that again).

Was the DMF 'tone that you speak of that blue kind?  This 'tone was a very especially clear bright yellow.

I'm sure Max the bonobo would have done more tests by now if it weren't for the fact that his benzo supply has run dry...

Sunlight:
It has been said reppeated times that ketone from benzo is fluorescent green, you can see pictures in Rhod's page, but what I saw was a yellow ketone, not specially different in colour from the ketone coming from performic.
Your experience sounds promising.
