WTF, Are you serious noj?
Anyway, for the benefit of those who can't get formic or wacker chems, I will post the results of the last peracetic SWIM ever intends to do. 325ml of 90% acetic, is added to 70ml of 25% h2o2. Then comes 4ml of 32% sulfuric acid. The flask is stoppered, thoroughly shaken, and allowed to stand for 12 hours. At the 11 hour point, it is put in the fridge to chill. At the same time, 70 grams of high quality isostuffrole is dissolved in 110ml acetone, and put in the freezer. At the 12 hour point, the peracetic is dumped in a large erlenmeyer flask, sitting in an icebath, on SWIMS magnetic stirrer. Stirring is commenced, and the iso is dripped in over the course of about 35 minutes. At about the 1 hour point, the temp has stabilized, and the ice bath is removed,
and stirring is continued for a total of 16 hours. The mix is divided into 3 ~200ml portions, and each flooded with 600ml cold h2o, glycol/epoxide sepped off, and each portion extracted with 3 x 35ml dcm. Nasty emulsions formed on the first two portions, which were broken up with salt. The extracts are combined, washed with h2o, and the solvent evaporated. Next, 100ml of "methanol flavored heet" is added, and the solution is gently heated. It is then added to 550ml preheated 15% sulfuric (250ml 32% sulfuric(battery acid)and 300ml dh2o). It is gently heated and stirred for 2 hours, then flooded with 250 ml h2o, and set in a cold water bath for 20 minutes. It is then at room temp, and dumped in a sep funnel, where the raw mdp2p is tapped off, the acid extracted with 3 x 90ml dcm. The combined extracts are washed once with 250ml h2o, and once with 250ml 5% NaOH. A blacklight is used on the second wash to determine the layers(the ketone layer glows green, the crap layer is black). The mix is then evaporated of solvent and vac distilled to yield 43.7g of high quality ketone(yield ~57%). All of SWIMS reagents were shitty OTC reagents, and swim believes that better reagents would give higher yields.
BTW, wanting to impress the hive, swim practiced VERY good lab technique on this run, as this was one of his best yields (usually got more around 45-50% yield).
Good luck
