I chose the formic acid/hydrogen peroxide recipe, which requires propenylbenzene. I assumed, but am still not entirely sure, that my isomerized benzaldehyde is an appropriate propenylbenzene. After slowly adding the benzaldehyde/acetone solution to the stirring formic acid/hydrogen peroxide, it is left to stir overnight. In the morning, the formic acid and acetone is distilled off.
Benzaldehyde and propenulbenzen iss deff. not the same.
Evaporating mixtures of peroxoformic acid can bee explosive
Mixing acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetone sometimes lead to the quite powerfull explosive tri-acetoneperoxide.
Use 3-4 month to study rhodiums page (at the bottom) and the hive (the newbee section. Shame to waste all that methylamine on nothing.
