In the Chromic writeup for the oxone synth, Vibrating_Lights says no base in neccasary if one uses store bought oxone, and that chromic was using 100% oxone. That seems a little confusing to me. If oxone is a brand name isnt store bought oxone 100%? Where would one get the Oxone sans base? Then the big question SWIM needs answered...he hasnt found oxone at all but did find "Shock&Swim" it says active in it is potasium persulfate 80% and sodium carbonate 20%

With this stuff would SWIM need to use any extra base or would he be fine? That addendum by V_L is confusing the shit out of me.
"Tests have been run and extra base is only needed if you wish to perform thermal rearrangement"
then he says...
"However, if using the standard H2SO4 rearrangement the 85% Oxone mix can be used as is because the H2SO4 will dehydrate the glycol to the epoxide before it rearranges the epoxide to the ketone"
Im confused is their some difference in the instances of the word "rearrangment" in each quote?
