(encopo: "Re: Biosynth (homebrewing E)", Serious Chemistry)i didn't like the look of the pool shock thing since there seemed to be a big work up involved to get anhydrous pool chlorine. also think it still needs the uv for good yields.
NO UV!!!! There is very strong evidence that UV with the pool shock reaction goes BOOM! That means no sunlight for this reaction unless you like explosions.
The thing I like about the RedP/Chlorine procedure is the near quantitative yeild which will make the work-up a BREEZE.
