Where did my freebase go?

FriendlyFinger - 16-8-2005 at 21:39

Swim ran a Al/Hg with 44g P2P and got 86% yield freebase after acid/base.

A few days later swim ran another Al/Hg with 50g P2P and got 16g freebase after
toluene extraction. Where's the other 35 or so grams? The only thing that swim did differently is use 10% NaHCO3 for the washes instead of 5% NaOH. So where did all that oil go? Did it go out with the wash? Why?

Regards,
FF

Were the ketone and amine from the same batch?

This is a chemistry forum. It is not the place for "where did my drug synthesis go wrong?" posts. Your previous drug-related posts have been tolerated, as the topics have been relevant to chemistry as a whole. This however, is going too far.
