Why oh Why (I hope this is in the correct zone)
First there were weird looking crystals of Methylamine HCl, next moment all that sits there is a group of clear liquid globules - which themselves will not freeze!
What a damn waste of effort that was, what went wrong?
30%Formaldehyde w/w & 25% Ammonia w/w = Hexamine
Hexamine & 33% HCl w/w = Ammonium Chloride & Formaldehyde ?(yeah- as per Rhodiums page "chemhack")
HEAT with Ammonium Chloride & Formaldehyde = `among other things` Methylamine HCl
After doing the hot alcohol / icy cold alcohol purification process a few times SWIM thought she'd cracked it, and then this! globules ....useless globules man!
