Can't an offending poster simply be warned about his format? Must the post be entirely deleted?

ASS-suming that my
presumption in Post 535732 (dwarfer: "A  REAL LIVE Failure!  YeS!", Stimulants) that the microwave heating
of a lewis acid ZnCl2/HCl greatly raised it's
chlorinating effects..

(a speculative matter to be sure..)

then perhaps the same situation may occur with
H2SO4 in a microwave??

Who (k)nose? ;)

Easy trial, yeah?

Organikum:
Maybe, but not my business anymore.

What I assume is this:
- ZnCl2/HCl forms a complex zinc-acid which chlorinates the alcohol (says the "Gattermann"). The right ratios and microwaving will push the reaction into the wanted direction.
- Adding more Zn after the chlorination and nuking it will reduce the chloroephedrine, how complete this reduction occurs is unknown to me.

But (pseudo)ephedrine reduction is somehow boring, the P/I and the Birch, two almost quantitative reactions are available, what do you want more?

java:
Near the end of this thread there is information as to the electro method of reduction of benzylic type alcohols ,(psudo)ephedrine, that may be of interest to readers of this thread..........java
