Title: Acetone as a PTC in a safrole clorination
Post by: Vibrating_Lights on October 26, 2001, 09:21:00 AM
Would acetone be a suitable PTC in a clorination of safrole. The whole defintion of a ptc is that it allows two phases to mix into a homogenious solution for optimal contact correct.  There would not be any adverse side reactions involving the acetone. would the acetone possibly allow for a further saturation of HCL into the solution. DMSO is expensive OTC

Acetone is not a PTC, it MAY help but not as a PTC.
