I have a littel question, I dreamt that I did a littel 2g ephedrine rxn (and 3g I2, 2g rP and 1mL H2O) in a 100mL flask with only a ballon on top. The cook took 1hour and was heated up to 180c. After a keypunk cleanup, 1,1g white powder was collected. (not reX.)
I dreamt about another rxn, using 7g ephedrine (and 7g I2, 2,33g rP and 3,5mL H2O), refluxed with a allin condenser in a 500mL for 4 hours, heated up to 160-170c: in other words, not so ghetto equipment. After a keyplunk and reX, 2,75g white crystals was collected (srew up when cleaning, the yield would problerly had been about 3,5 if now burning som meth during the clean up).
Why doesn't my dreams using condenser and better equipment give better yield, than smaller shorter rxn only using a ballon?
I know I should dream about LWR, but currently I have not the peace and time to dream so long dreams.
