The rate of products formed (condensing/evaporating) - equilibrium?
If not, then fuck you still.
Os, You were right, as I suspected.
Swim was very precise with all measurements, and rxn was done 3x, only results for 2 in so far.
In a 5L rb
68.75g of al
1875ml of meoh
1g hg
50 ml of nitro, (20 ml added first, then ketone)
57.5 ml of mdp2p
rxn went smooth in all 3 instances, sat for a few extra hours,
Basified cold using 655g naoh in 1750 h2o
in the first scenario swim was sure to dump in all non polar 1750ml's at once
proved to yield after 2 tone washes was 48.5g, expected 52
In the second scenario no variables were changed except the non polar was added in 2 portions, 900, then 850.. yield after
3 tone washes.. 52.5, approx 4 gram difference.
POINT PROVEN.. BUT! shoulda been more.
Swim has yet to basify the 3rd rxn as exaust settled in, but will try again with 3 extraction.. the first being the 900, the second, 400, then 450. I can't possibly see the yield go up much more, and was pretty shocked at the first one being as low as it was.. usually it returns 20-21g per 23ml, when done at scale.. being done at 2.5 scale shouldn't of made a difference, although there was alot more room in the 5L than expected.. should of done at 3x scale in a 5L..
Could the extra head room in the flask of effected yield??
Hey bitch ass, it appears the equilibrium was shifted due to the excess head room? no?
& I'm, somethin of a phenom, no need for da cron, I'm un-stopable.
