I have finished the BS Wacker 2 hours ago. Used N,N-Dimethylformamide 300ml, 2g PdCl2, 160g 1,4-Benzoquinone, 50ml H2O, 130g Safrole. After 8 hours i flooded with 50ml muriatic acid in 1.5l H2O in a 4 l beaker. Why am i unable to separate the oil, which should be on bottom of the beaker. There is a lot of crap on bottom of the beaker, which i have filtered out now, but the solution is still almost black. It's looking like https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/clandestine/nasa/benzline.jpg (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/clandestine/nasa/benzline.jpg)
.How can i get the oil ? Greetings & thanx,
