Can you hum a few bars?
Here's the lyrics.
Was once a person named SWIM,
whose chances seem none to slim.
Extracted with tolly,
some oxidized oilly
now tolly stays behind on a whim.
1. standard oxone run.
2. Used toluene to extract
3. Most comes over upon distillation, with some methanol
in there too.
4. Temp drops, but liquid is obviously much more than
to be expected.
5. SWIM's afraid of epoxide rearrangement, cuz one time
hypothesized xylene
under vac at 70C which
after xylene was gone, had a dark, dark red oil,
which was probably a partial thermal rearrangement
and couldn't be put through H2so4 hydrolysis.
6. Since swim had only toll in there, swim is mystified
at why temp dropped from 110C when there is obviously
more.
And also a warning: toluene does dissolve a portion of
any sediment from the oxone which showed up upon
heating, as fine particles in the flask, but which
subsequently
seemed to distill out.
?
Also swim would like a few bees concensus on epoxide
color from oxone, as it seems to vary greatly from
previous descriptions.
SWIMS after getting NP out is always a deep red/gold
color, and has heard one other say gold, but alot of
others say light yellow!
SWIM uses oxone 85/15 straight out of the bag, with a ph
of 7.
CG I miss you sweety, I really do.
