As an alternative to acetone in the recrystalisation process, could xylene be used? If I were to try this, the product to be re-x'd would be added to a flask, along with a very generous amount of xylene. I would heat the NP to a few degrees below the BP of the alcohol that is to be used. After that, alcohol would be slowly added, dropwise, untill the pseudo/meth dissolved into the solution, which would be slowly cooled over 12/24hrs.
Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?
