I'm very happy that a bee have tried with success the Zn/HCl rdxn, as he saw it's very simple, just first course of psychedelic chemistry, and probably we can make almost all PIHKAL.
About nitropropenes I tried in a small test a rdxn of 345TMPNP, the rdxn went perfect, with the tipical change of color of this reation, and when basifying I saw the oil floating and a clear amine smell, my impression is that it worked fine. Other test was made with 34MDPNP and it seemed to work, but I was not there in the workup and may be the other person fucked the essay (or may be not).
We have a lot of products to test, but now the question is if as we think the nitropropenes can be reduced as well with this procedure. I wan't try P2NP but I'll try others compounds, may be other can bee the job.
I'll try the NaOH for 345TMB.
I've tested the procedure for nitrostyrenes that is in a new entry of Rhodium's page, 19.5 gr of 3,4,5 TMB, 7.8 gr of am. acetate, 10 ml of nitromethane and 70 cc of acetic acid refluxed 2 h 15 minutes, then 50 gr of ice was added and the precipitate filtered and wash with cold IPA. It gave 14.8 gr of a crystalline product that was greenish instead of yellow, I made a TLC and showed one spot and the mp was 118-120, in a recent uemura reference the mp was reported as 120-121, so it was the nitrostyrene but probably with a small contamination that gave the greenish color.
