(Chromic: "I agree", Newbee Forum)Beyond filtering of your crystals, it remains true that the potential for "over-gassing" is directly proportional to the amount of freebase in solution,
I would have to agree. This problem seems most apparent when newbee's are doing a nano synth and they extract 5 grams with 300mL of wet nonpolar. ;D Then blame it on overgassing. I think what may actually occur is that when a small amount of excess HCl dissolves in the nonpolar it increases the solubility of the amine and bang the few crystals you had are gone.
Just a feeling I get from reading past posts.
Not really sure myself.
