birch in other amines
« on: February 26, 2004, 05:02:00 AM »
ive been looking into doing a birch in somthing other
than nh3
I have found some info on a reaction called the Benkeser
Reduction and it has led me to belive that it might
be possible to do a luckart on acetone and then use the
resulting propyl-2-amine as your solvent
has anyone got any ideas on this or experiance
thanx

Making propyl-2-amine from acetone is easy and feasible. Purification of the propyl-2-amine freebase via distillation and then drying the freebase to remove water is critical for the birch success.
