I dont think thats the answer

The posability of the salts being sulfates have been eliminated via A/B extraction so the only thing that I can think of is that the salts here are probly norpseudoephedrine and that boiling in the hydrochloric acid gives a 50/50 mix of norpseudoephedrine/norephedrine and the latter being the one to want.

I wonder why a 25 hour boil in 57% hydriodic acid does not make this change happen yet 32% hydrochloric in a few hours does?

Could it be true that reducing norpseudoephedrine via HI acid only gives the amide and norephedrine give the desired amine? I know this holds true for the cyanate to 4mar synth.

Can a mod move this post to "why ppa needs boil before reaction" there is no "post reply" button only topic when not logged in sry.
