Title: Distillation of 2,5-DMP2P at atmospheric pressure?
Post by: Tezcatlipoca on August 13, 2002, 04:27:00 AM

Can 2,5-DMP2P bee distilled at atmospheric pressure without damaging the molecule? TFSE only refers to atmospheric distillation of MDP2P; could find nothing about DMP2P.

Thanks in Advance,

I wouldn't do it. At least use an aspirator vacuum.

Well, P2P can be distilled at atmospheric pressure so I have to wonder...what effect do those methoxies have...wouldn't be surprised if you could get away with it...but then I think Osmium has far more credibility than I so maybe his advice is the smarter move...
(and now I'm wondering if this post is of any use at all..)

The effect of those methoxies is a considerably higher boiling point, as well as an inherent desire for the molecule to cyclise into a furan-type compound, if you have just a little bit of acidic or basic impurities in there.
