(LaBTop: "Prefered next steps after freezing:", Methods Discourse), I have just editted it extensively so even the most fresh beginner will hopefully understand it.
It explains why and how things should be done after sassafras to safrole, freezing out and distilling proceedings.
For those proceedings, read the whole damm important thread, did we type all that stuff for nothing?
Especially read the last line in that Post 294437 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=9414.msg29443700#msg29443700)
(LaBTop: "Prefered next steps after freezing:", Methods Discourse).
Follow proceedings outlined by me in that whole thread, and you will have no problems with your ketone, obtained through the next procedure after isosafrole: a performic or peracetic procedure. LT/

in having this sass. oil:
pinene.......... 2-10% Bp= 154C at 1 atm
phellandrene. 2-10% Bp= 175C at 1 atm
d-camphor.... 0- 5% Bp= 204C at 1 atm
safrole.......... 80-90% Bp= 234C at 1 atm
eugenol........ 0-10% Bp= 252C at 1 atm
as stated in Post 294437 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=9414.msg29443700#msg29443700)

SWIM was wondering bp's are the best way to get rid of anything but safrole (except eugenol)?
SWIM's read that using a naoh solution is good to get rid of the eugenol?
if that's true, would a bee just do the naoh wash on the sass. oil before distilling (or freezing), then take time doing a distillation in order to carefully watch the temp, and then the bee will know when the safrole is coming over?
SWIM's got the brown safrole/koh mix refluxing, and was wondering...how much time is necessary for conversion? (SWIM's read overnight...but the aspirator is gonna eat up some serious water(will running it overnight make a big difference on the water bill?), so a more accurate estimate would bee nice! ::) )

* a capillary bubbling into your distillation flask (won't need any stirring anymore)
Thats it. OSMIUM is right this is the best solution, not to forget the advantages of less or no stirring. If you have a strong enough sucker this is a class A tip for most vacuum distillations and refluxes. No bumping and no boiling stones. Very smooth.
The capillary is easy selfmade. A glasstube heated with the torch and softly pulled on the ends. A capillary real means that there has to be a minimal opening left not only at the end but over a few centimeters. But it´s nonsense. Buy some of several diameter and invest your time somewhere else. ;D
In the long run you might consider a electronic rpm control for the pumps motor. You get such parts fucking cheap at surplus/auctionhouses.
