Meanwhile at the coffee well...They tall one was mad at the fat guy. Seems when he gassed, they did not dry the HCl well enough and tho it seemed they had hit the lotto, infact the ppt redissolved in the eoe. Apparently, the tall one had challenged the fat one to do the gassing, tho the fat guy admitted he had never done something like this and was apprehensive he would hurt himself or fuck up the project. Since the project did, in their eyes, fuck up, it should be on the tall guy, right? It seems that the tall guy again fucked up after the fat guy solved the redissolving problem though evaporation of the eoe. It does leave me curious...how much of the goods would evaporate along with the eoe. I have to assume, that like most amines, this Dob, has a vapor pressure of some sort. When he added base after the bromination step, instead of adjusting the pH with a solution, the idiot used solid NaOH. The enthalpy of solution/reaction was way too much for the delicate organic molecule and limited heat sink. Anyway, you similarly describe the body load, though more intense than what seems to have happened to the fat guy, but he definitely got the same experience you describe. Thanks for your sharing your knowlege
