Awesome!
Thanks callen, and an extended thank you to your friend A.L.F for your much valued, detailed and very helpful post. I thought all might have been lost
but like Superman, You & A.L.F saved the day, and certainly brightened it up.
"Re: my pH level of pH12 after the rxn" Was at least pH14 You were right!-Sorry I don't know what I was thinking when I said it was pH12 - (I was still in the state of panic/worry that I had lost my entire yield).
And yes it was a toluene pull for the E extraction, (onto it). It was nice clean E I used in the rxn. Everything was going to plan till I hit the pH level process before the final evap.
In answer to your question callen whether I lived in Aussie, You were close, I live just under… NZ.
Cheers for the Plumbing Store source “I need to get that dam toilet sorted and finish off my bathroom”.
Unfortunately thou, I don't think "Ace has a Place" (pun) here in NZ. But I'm sure I will find a similar store.
I am now going to print off your post and make like a Bee & fly to my hive and save my honey.
Cheers
Incase anyone’s wondering...
Before I posted my question. I did UTFSE but I could only find postings that were sort of similar to my ordeal, but nothing that seemed to match my exact Fuck up!
and being a Newbee I needed a remedy that was more directly related. And I got it!
(cool)
“Learn from our mistakes”. It’s what we base all our successes against. Otherwise we would never know Right from Wrong, If Wrong didn’t exist! and vise versa
And no doubt I’ll have more fuck ups yet to come in the future(unfortunately) As long as I progress and mistakes decline, I'll be happy (the learning curve) But once again Thanks.
