Cheeser just recently manufactured a small amount of 1-(1,3 Benzodioxol-5-yl)propen-2-none using buffered Potassium Monopersulphate on 2-Alkene to desired Epoxide then further rearranged to Ketone using 15% H2SO4 reflux for 2.5 hours. The ketone was washed with basic washes but was not able to be distilled using vacuum. The ketone tested positive when a big as bunch of chicken fat like solids formed in metabisulphite test vile. there was so much fat chunks in there from just 4 drops of light brown ketone, cheese thought that it would be OK to aminate as is. Using sodium cyano and ammonium acetate. cheese tried but failed at aminating the phenylacetone. Does anyone know why the crude ketone failed in reduction? Cheese thought it would be OK as it passed the bisulphite test with flying colors, big yellow chunks of fat in less than 10 minutes of shaking in metabisulphit solution. Almost there, back to the 'ol drawing board. OXONE ROX!!
