PolytheneSam: put those patent #'s into Rodium's search engine--> Gonna check it out tonight when i print it.
Animal: Do you mean what can you use instead of DMSO in the Bromo procedure or do you mean what else can you use DMSO for?
Just a thought: The only problem i can see with the DMSO procedure is that there might be a side rxn because of the NaHSO4 present.
The product that SWIM got smelt nice and looked good after washes even though SWIM used washed saf oil and not distilled stuff. SWIM found that the oil looses about 20% of its weight after washing, does that mean that it's fairly pure safrole? The oil is supposed to be about 80% safrole right?
The Bromo product smelt kinda sweet and was a suripy, translucent pink/yellow/orange liquid at room temp.
Who was it that reported a similar failure with the DMSO method.., mabe YelloJacket?? I can't remember, but if anyone made this stuff and tried to aminate with some method other than the delephine i would be very interested to hear your story.
SWIM tried this procedure a long time ago with NaI instead of NaBr, and got shit all.
Made more stink too. SWIM thought he fucked up the delephine, that's why he tried it a second time with NaBr.
SWIM thinks that the DMSO method doesn't work well with the NaI since a lot of I2 seemed to be produced..
Anyone else got any stories on this procedure???
Sweat dreams............
If it doesn't work, smash it and start over
