Can nitroalkenes (b-nitro alcohols) undergo a retro-aldol type reaction? Or shall I say, what conditions would be needed to coerce this into
happening?

I will try making more but right now i don't even have 1 gram.
then i will use 20 B degree HCL to try.

Can Phenylpropanolamine be produced by the reductive amination of L-Pac Via the below method except the catalyst (raney nickel) is substituted for
Al/Hg?
Run down for people to lazy to open the link,
| Quote: |
Compound 1 5g [α]D25 -155° (containing 4.28 g pure (R)-(–)-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-propanone, 0.03 mol·dm-3) was taken up in 15 mL of benzene.
11.4 mL (0.17 mol·dm-3) of 25% ammonia and 0.5 g Raney nickel were added and hydrogen was passed for 2.30 h at 50 psi. After completion of the
reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered off. concentrated hydrochloric acid (7 mL) was added to adjust the pH to 5.5. The solution was
concentrated under reduced pressure. The viscous mass was dissolved in absolute ethanol and dry ether was added to the solution. A colourless compound
crystallised from absolute ethanol, mp 192–194°C (literature cited 190-194°C, [α]D25 0°, was obtained. Yield: 30%, 1.61 g.

I have in mind a reaction that alkylates an m-nitrobenzyl-alkyl-ketone at the alpha-carbon with an alkyl chloride in a biphasic PTC environment. Is
anyone cognizant of references that affect this or any analogous reactions?

L-Pac? Is that some of that drug cook's terminology that isn't appropriate on a chemistry forum?

I don't think so. It stands for l-phenylacetylcarbinol, which is legit nomenclature.

A cursory SF search gives these related examples:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2009, 17, 2963-2974 describes an alpha-C-alkylation of m-nitrobenzyl p-methoxyphenyl ketone with methyl
bromoacetate (NaH/DMF);
WO2005070420 describes alpha-C-methylation of 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzyl cyclohexyl ketone with methyl iodide (NaH/THF, 2h, rt);
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1969, 17, 605-610 describes alpha-C-propargylation of 3-chloro-5-nitrobenzyl methyl ketone with propargyl
bromide (NaOEt/EtOH);
These are only examples on substrates containing the 3-nitrobenzyl moiety. Otherwise, there are plenty of examples on other benzyl alkyl/aryl ketones.
Some use KOtBu or NaH, others use NaOH under PTC conditions (quats or crown ethers; see Tetrahedron Letters, 1971, 1351-1352 for a method).
If the electrophile is a fairly reactive primary alkyl bromide or iodide, the reaction should give reasonably good yields. With alkyl chlorides under
PTC conditions, I doubt you would get anything useful, unless of course it is a benzyl or allyl chloride. Rather use an alkyl
bromide/iodide/tosylate/etc. Likewise secondary alkyl halides are unlikely to work, and if they do the yields will suffer greatly.
Edit: In case you want to alkylate with beta-chloroethylamines in a biphasic system, consider that here the actual alkylating species (aziridinium
ions) are cations and thus partition into the aqueous phase (and succumb to hydrolysis) rather than stay in the organic phase to react with the
substrate. (just guessing about the nature of the electrophile you intent to use)

If possible could someone link me to a viable source, I've only found one place where they said you could substitute it for Al/Hg but there was no
hard facts.

For ordinary Newtonian fluids, no. The equivalent terms would be "standing viscosity" and "moving
viscosity", but there's only a single viscosity. The Newtonian fluid model, though, doesn't nearly model all real fluids. One non-Newtonian model uses
shear-dependent viscosity, which models thixotropic and shear-thinning materials.

apologies then i guess this gets far more complex quickly however i'll ask anyway. The circumstance i'm interested in is a recirculating pump on
startup running nothing other than water or water glycol. Does the pump initially do more work until the circuit is flowing or does the work being
done by the pump simply gradient upwards leveling out once the pressure in the system is obtained. Are equations available to predict the pressure
gradient in the system from startup until i guess you could call it steadystate.

I think you mean Claisen rearrangement. You need an allyl vinyl ether, which you do not have. Part of the aromatic ring can stand in for one of the
double bonds, but you don't have that set up properly either.

Both the fluids you mention are perfectly good Newtonian fluids, at least to an approximation better than
you could (easily) measure at home. So to your first question, there's no extra work at startup due to viscosity effects.
Non-steady-state pressure gradients transmit at the speed of sound in the fluid, which is quite fast, about 1.5 km/s. The sonic transmission time
across the diameter of your lab-scale apparatus is only a millisecond at most, which is nothing to worry about.

Some text in patent 5006508 says:
'...A typical reaction may be that between lithium metal and anhydrous methanol to produce a methanolic solution of lithium methoxide. This lithium
methoxide solution is filtered to remove any precipitate that may have formed and the filtered solution is added to a solution of anhydrous cupric
chloride in anhydrous methanol. The lithium methoxide and cupric chloride react to form copper (II) methoxide which precipitates and lithium chloride
which is soluble in methanol. The copper methoxide is collected by filtration and washed with several methanol washes...'
There is also this, of which I can however only see the abstract:
Kendric J. Nelson, Ilia A. Guzei, Gregory S. Lund, Robert W. McGaff, Copper(II) methoxide: direct solventothermal synthesis and X-ray crystal
structure, Polyhedron, Volume 21, Issue 20, 1 September 2002, Pages 2017-2020, ISSN 0277-5387, DOI: 10.1016/S0277-5387(02)01132-4.

Hmmm... I continued researching into it more and I don't know how it evaded me, but I would like to verify if that L-Pac is reduced to either
Phenylpropanolamin or Ephedrine by the same way P2P is reduced to Amphetamine or Methamphetamine e.g. reductive alkylation/amintion. If so I feel like
quite the moron and would like to apologise for the inconvenience.
This is not drug related but it was the only way to lay mention of the reduction processors.

Pope you need to understand the mechanics of why it would form Ephedrine or PPA. Look into why normal Al/Hg reductive amination work and the mechanics
behind it. PS: you will more then likely not find the mechanics information on Rhodiums archives. Look more for the reductive amination of ketones
instead of limiting yourself to a certine substate in general. Also look into imine as well on wiki to get an idea of whats truely getting reduced.

QUESTION:
Does anyone have the solublity data of the Vanillin Bisulfate adduct it either H2O or EtOH?
Im attempting to extract it from an impure OTC Vanilla extract which contains mostly H2O and some EtOH so I figured add sodium Metabisulfate till
saturation and quickly filter then add EtOH to precipitate the adduct but I want to make sure I got what I desire.

Buy a cheap "white" decorating vanilla. Boil down with something to help exclude air until the fumes aren't flammable, or watch until the temp hits
100C. I topped the beaker with tinfoil and a pinhole to help with this. Then chill the mixture, as vanillin has a pretty steep solubility curve. You
should get white to off white (off white more likely) needles forming- let it cool undisturbed and slowly or you get mushy fine crystals that trap the
solvent- molten vanillin may also oil out as it has a low melting point out but should freeze.
I have NMR verification that (at least as of 4 years ago) Wilton's clear decorator vanilla was all methyl vanillin with no ethyl vanillin or other
flavors (at least of the product as isolated above and recrystallized from boiling water).

Thanks UC. I did a test tube run by adding "dirty" (ill explain in abit) Vanilla extract to Metabisulfate until no more would dissolve and filtered
it. Upon adding more EtOH as expected the clear solution took a cloudy appreance and a fine white precipitate was noted but not isolated due to the
small scale.
By Dirty I mean all kind of crap like glycols and sugers which I obviously don't want but its what I had on hand when i first decided to try it for
the hell of it.
Im doing a small test as well along the lines of what you just stated and am evaporating the entire contents down to a syrup(more then likely) mainly
to remove the EtOH and H2O then I was considering adding a .5:1:1 H2O/EtOH/Et2O mixture to dissolve the syrup and slowly allow to evaporate and see if
any crystals form. If they indeed do I could adjust the ratios of the crystalizing solvents to get more bang for my buck. Indeed however I will search
for the brand you made mention of because I want pure vanillin when im done just to say I did it.
PS: What about NH3 adduct, that should accomplish the same goal simular to how BnO is isolated forming the trimer and then a simple acid hydrolysis
would recover my Vanillin correct. May be one of the simpler methods if proves true... No other way to find out Ill be right back , lol

Nope not even the slightest bit of precipitate using (aq) NH3 although the R-OH contents in the mix may possibly be solvating the adduct but I don't
know. Ill get some cleaner material tommorow and give your metho a shot UC.
I must ask. Whats the need to exclude air from the mixture needed for? Am I doing this just to remove the EtOH and allow the Vanilin to precipitate
due to its low solubility in H2O or is there something im missing?

I made 500 ml of 0,1M (NH<sub>4</sub> <sub>2</sub>Fe(SO<sub>4</sub><sub>2</sub>
solution today by dissolving 19,61 g of the dry powder to 500 ml with deionized water in a volumetric flask. It is very old, however it had the
characteristic blue color of Fe(II) it should have before I dissolved it. The solution, however, was more like a murky yellow. Now I'm seeing a brown
precipitate, but not much.
Is this due to atmospheric oxidation or must it have been something in the water that caused it? Mohr's salt is said to be stable against air
oxidation because of the acidic ammonium ions present in the solution.
Anyhow, would it be okay if I filtered off the fine precipitate and standardized the solution against 0,02M KMnO<sub>4</sub>? The
permanganate is standardized against sodium oxalate, a primary standard.
