As soon as Doccy-moi gets my equipment back , I'll have an imaginary go at the supposed piperine --> piperonal from black pepper. Seems to be wide variations on results of first alcoholic extraction depending on the alcohol .
I tried to have a go a Sassy synth from Eugenol that can be found on Rhodium's page "
http://lycaeum.org/~rhodium/chemistry/safrole.eugenol.txt (http://lycaeum.org/~rhodium/chemistry/safrole.eugenol.txt)
" (a theory at best ,actually) , but it called for the isomerization of Eugenol which kicked my ass (Didn't know that NaOH couldn't be used on Eugenol very successfully at the time) . Now that I no longer have access to any methylene bearing compounds of any kind (impossible to get OTC from this region ,in addition to methyl-anything ,from methanol to DMSO ,not a DAMNED thing!!!!!) , I'm stuck hoping that some other brave souls can pursue this.pK - Ohhhh!!!! Now D/T's ass itches with anticipation ! Can't wait . . .
