So I performed the oxone rxn on isosafrole. When I was ripping the solvent off of the product it got way too hot and turned black oops, oh well. I ended up with ~50g of glycol/epoxide/crap. I went on to do the H2SO4 reflux. Every thing went fine I think. (It's my first time) It didn't clean up very much with NaOH washes. It's VERY dirty. But it does have hints of red even though it's black, and it smells fruity like burnt flowers. It smells a LOT different than before. I'm not sure where to go from here. I've thought about vacuum distillation. Best idea no? Well no, my vacuum source only pulls 5" Hg. It does lower the bp of safrole ~30° though. Some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
