I am going to do lead block tests tonight! maybe


I figure what the hell, I will do some tests tonight as my neighbourhood is going to be full of fireworks tonight anyway.:P
I will keep you guys posted about anything that happens tonight.

Thankyou for the excelent response, being as I have now read about a dozen slightly different synths over the course of this 12 page forum, what "current method" are you refering to?
Because if like you say there is minimal worries of creating to much AP I will go ahead with my own experimentation, I have everything I need for small synths, so why not contribute to the overal tests :)

The current method is forming the polymerized acetone addition product with HCl and then peroxidation of that
product using a catalytic amount of additional HCl and H2O2 . There are variations on the quantities , times , temperatures , orders of addition by people trying to discover the method which gives the highest yield of purest product with the greatest ease . I am working on that aspect myself by my experiment with low heating of a mixture of acetone and HCl for an extended time , so that I may observe the changes occuring in slow motion , seeking knowledge of how the precursor is formed . There are distinct stages through which the reaction develops and that series of reactions has not been really explained . It is possible that this polymerization scheme for acetone has never been described in the literature .
There is much published about the aldol condensation under basic conditions and a whole lot of references , but not much in the way of description of acid catalyzed condensation and addition products for acetone and HCl . If anyone should find any pertinent literature references for phorone dihydrochloride by that name for the compound which I have designated for it , or any other reasonable name for the same structure , please share the citation or the article itself . It is difficult to break new ground in chemistry , and we very well may be doing so if no such citation exists . Often if a literature reference exists in support of a patent designated reaction , the citation will be noted in the patent . And since no such
literature citation is noted in the Mackowiak patent , then it reenforces my suspicion that phorone dihydrochloride may never have been named and characterized . It could also be that because of the lack of details in the Mackowiak patent that the significance of
his invention was unappreciated by others who were unable to confirm his findings . Thereafter anything related to the patent including the precursor and the end product , also the intermediate pentachlorophorone , may have received no professional recognition nor scrutiny .
Sad for Mackowiak , if this is the story , but this sort of thing happens too often where an invention is rediscovered thirty years or more later from an inventor who never received that reward he had been deserving .

Cold formation sounds much more efficient


Ok. I have done cold formation before although slow it is
often best for observation of the chemical processes.
One direction I may steer you in is adding HOT fuming HCL to cool acetone and this creates an instant chemical change and a green-yellow hue to appear almost immediatly. Then take your phorone HCl and keep heat on it for 24hrs @ 60c.. after this test for remaing HCl and freeze to -20c or so.. the liquid should be like toffee and solid masses of PHCl crystals should be forming at the bottom of the flask.
I got my best yeild with this method. See my webshots acount.

BTW... Could find the crystal structure of DPPP and contrast it against AP? maybe sketch it or something.

I think you will be impressed with your results.

The sealed bottle in which I have been slow heat digesting 225 ml acetone and 200 ml HCl 31.45% , has been at 66 C for 72 hours , and an upper layer is separating slowly from the mixture below .
The upper layer is about 8 mm thick now and it appears to be single material of extremely deep yellow color in thin layers , and absolutely ink black en masse . The lower layer appears that it may be a fairly stable emulsion of the same material as the upper layer , along with water or some other clear oily material . It is the separation of these materials into separate phases I am seeking . It probably isn't necessary to separate the mixture for the benefit of making DPPP , but at this point I am trying to identify what exactly are the components contained in the strange mixture to satisfy my curiosity , and perhaps test the components reaction to peroxidation separately to see what results for each , if anything . The formation of DPPP may require both components of the mixture , or it may require the mixed components used before the point of digestion to which I have extended the reaction . I intend to cover all the obvious possibilities in studying this reaction . I suspect that the product from the slow digestion I am performing is the same as what is gotten by use of shorter times and higher temperatures like others are doing , but the slow progress of the reaction is allowing for me to observe what changes cannot be seen in a boiling mixture . Has a phase separation been observed in the mixtures which have been refluxed and at higher temperature , or is this a peculiar development in the slower digestion of the mixture which I am watching occur ?
Later I am going to monitor the temperature on a refluxed mixture in a stir mantle , ramping the temperature and
perhaps comparing the result both with and without water removal during the reflux . I also intend to examine the possibility of a monohydrochloride of phorone , and some other possibilities because I am not entirely certain that the reactions which Mackowiak has designated are necessarily correct , although it does seem likely they are correct . One thing I want to resolve entirely is whether the coloration of the DPPP is indeed due to the DPPP or if it is a tint which results from a byproduct or impurity . Recrystallization , and some activated charcoal in the solvent could resolve that question . I am curious also
about the color fade which I saw occur overnight where a drop of the precursor was left as a stain upon a white paper towel , whether the colored material simply evaporated , or if the material changed composition on contact with air .
There is a very slight chance that the precursor could peroxidize itself in contact with air , which is an interesting possibility . There is simply more we don't know about the process and the materials involved than we do know . But it is damn good that at last it appears experiments are producing the desired product , which ends the long frustration of trial and error experiments which were
not producing much answers before except proving what did not work :D
Now we are getting somewhere in nailing down the details of the process and understanding more what Mackowiak was doing . Having his lab notebook would save a lot of needless duplication of work ,
and "reverse engineering" the process , which has been something of a riddle to be solved . Have to wonder what other stuff this fellow may have invented , and filed or never filed applications concerning .

Ahhh only 31% I see..


I don't know if it is going to make any difference but I strongly suggest you get some concentrated muratic acid (35%) as the yeild is going to be better. My guess is that when you are finished your reaction you will have a dark red layer (unreacted acetone) and a black red layer to contend with as I do think you may run into partial digestion of the acetone therefore resulting in dimers, Trimer's and Tetramers of Acetone as suggested by some on Rogue science forums. It does seem to make sense.

And don't forget that DPPP seems to like to form at temperatures below 0c.

I would be surprised if it makes any difference whether 36% or 31.45% HCl is used in this reaction , other than perhaps
changing the time of the reaction slightly .
Look at it this way , the difference between the two is that the weaker is 68.55% water , while the "stronger" is 64% water , a difference in water content of 4.55% , not much in the scheme of things .
So far as I can tell there is no unreacted acetone after the first hour , perhaps two hours at the most in terms of polymerization , and thereafter the reaction is probably 90% or more complete in 24 hours . I think the phorone dihydrochloride product
is likely all there as an unstable emulsion with water , and further heating and standing simply leads to separation of the
mixture into phases having lower water content from higher water content . Possibly all I am doing by extended heating is destabilizing the emulsion and no further chemical changes are occuring .
What you say about "unreacted acetone" if you mean not free acetone , but polymerized acetone not yet converted to phorone dihydrochloride , because I used no excess of HCl to drive the reaction , well I agree that is a possibility . Actually I had wondered about that myself and thought about adding 20 ml of HCl and seeing if this led to any reduction of the volume of the upper layer . If that does occur , then it would confirm an excess of HCl is needed , in the molar ratio of 2 moles HCl to 3 moles acetone . This is one of the parameters I am evaluating so I will probably set aside a small sample of the upper layer and then see if some added HCl will result in any change .
The upper layer is so densely colored that I really do think it is phorone dihydrochloride , and not unconverted triacetone dialcohol . I have been reviewing the observations made earlier ,
and it would seem possible that the phorone dihydrochloride has been completely formed at 16 hours from the beginning of the mixing of the acetone and HCl maintained at 66 C , and the appearance of traces of a floating oily slick as an upper layer is a marker for
what is the completion of the chemical reaction producing the phorone dihydrochloride . All subsequent observations may be attributable to the physical destabilization of the emulsion
of phorone dihydrochloride in water on continued heating . It would be reasonable to test this theory on the next batch by proceeding with the peroxidation after
the acetone and HCl has reacted at 66 C for 16 hours .

Not emulsion...


Have anybody read about two-phase systems? Those are systems of two partially miscible liquids. For every such system there are two temperatures, lower critical temperature (minimum temperature below which the system is always homogenous no matter the ingredient content) and upper critical temp. (above which system is also always homogenous). In most cases though both of them cannot be observed as before it happens a boiling or freezing point of one of the ingredients is reached. We might have such a system here and when you start heating Rosco you might be just decreasing the solubility of phorone derivative in water and therefore dark crystals precipitate out of the soln.

A friend of mine is doing this rxn on a small scale in a jar and after ca. 30 hours in a warm place (near the computer) the soln turned very dark red. When the jar is tipped, some tarry residue is left on its wall. I think it is because phorone derivative content is now higher than that which can be dissoluted in water (this is one of the clues to prove the 2-phase system hypothesis).

The "tarry residue" which you are seeing when the liquid is sheeting across the glass is something I have observed too , but it is not as simple as it seems . Observe the droplets of the "tarry residue" closely in bright light , and use a magnifier if you need it to see that the residue droplets separate into two phases
as they slide slowly across the surface of the glass , each droplet is a small globule of a darkly colored material which is surrounded by a clear layer of water clear material , something like an egg yolk sitting in its surrounding egg white liquid which is more fluid than the "yolk" . Then there is an even more fluid and mobile third liquid present which sheets into a film across the surface of the glass as a bright yellow material which flows away quickly from the more "sticky" droplets of "tarry residue" . It appears to me that
a three phase system is present . From my past experience with doing liquid-liquid extractions , the appearance of the complex mixture squares with what is called a "persistent" emulsion , or an "intermediate boundary layer"and heating is one of the things that drive a phase separation . This complication occurs when organic materials have a great solubility but not a complete miscibility with water and is aggravated by the presence of some solvent which may have a similar limited water solubility while being miscible completely with the organic phase . But often the deliberate addition of a yet another material can
cause the phases to separate cleanly into two phases an organic phase and water .
Salting out with some salt highly soluble in water but insoluble in organic liquids can cause separation , or the addition of a low density solvent like toluene can cause separation . Sometimes simply changing the pH by adding a few drops of acid can facilitate separation .

But here is the potential fly in the ointment with regards to use of the mixture in further reaction to produce DPPP , where it is likely best that the emulsion be as homogeneous as possible
so that the very small globules can have great surface area for further reaction during the chlorination / peroxidation step to follow . I suspect that the highest yields of DPPP will be obtained when the
mixture containing the phorone dihydrochloride has a highest content of that material in terms of conversion of the original acetone , *but* that the material should be unprecipitated , maintained in a finely dispersed emulsion where it is available for further chlorination and peroxidation to DPPP . This may be the
built in limiting factor which determines the maximum yield , and could also account for tinting of the end product , should it be found that pure DPPP is actually white , although I am not declaring that it should be white , but only that it is conceivable . I will have more insight into this after observing the peroxidation and doing recrystallizations using charcoal to attempt decolorization .

For me everything is speculative at this point but I share these ideas as they may have bearing and others may be thinking along the same lines . A thing I have considered is that perhaps some sort of detergent or dispersion agent or emulsifier which is totally inert to reaction with the materials present in the system ,
should increase the quality of the emulsion and the yield and purity of the DPPP produced from the improved emulsion of phorone dihydrochloride .
Candidate dispersion agents would need to be stable in acidic medium , perhaps one of the sulfonic acids for example or
a soluble acidic phosphate are things which come to mind . By use of such a dispersion agent , it should be able to drive the initial reaction further to completion forming a higher concentration of phorone dihydrochloride in stable suspension , before any precipitation of that product as a separated phase . This may or may not have any usefulness , I cannot say until experiments are done to see if this has any effect or not . Another thought which I almost don't want to share is that it seems possible that the triacetone dialchol , phorone dihydrochloride , pentachlorophorone , and DPPP , are *all* entirely colorless products themselves and that the color changes which have been observed may be due to perhaps the presence of 10% of an unknown byproduct impurity which has no bearing on the reactions we are observing , other than to create total confusion by a presentation of color changes which are meaningless except in our own mistaken belief they have significance :D

I just tried the written synthesis by Rsert. The oily substace appeared after heating for 2 hours at 50 C and then heating for 15 h at 30 C. I cooled it to -10 C and Added 50Ml H2O2. IT was cooled back down to -10 C but no black crystals came out, because there was already a heavy yellow precipate. I waited for about 1/2 hr to see if any balck crystals would precipitate out, none did, so I added 200 ml more H2O2 and the precipitate was similar to Rserts pictures.

Edit

I just filtered what ever precipitated out and after neutralization, can not be more then 10g of DPPP. This seems like a shitty yeild from more then 400 Ml of Reagents.

It does seem to make sense.


I think you are correct about the upper layer being a separation of unreacted or not fully reacted acetone polymer , if that is what you mean . A few minures ago I attached a teflon capillary to a syringe and transferred a 1 ml sample of the top layer to a clean test tube . The oily material is a slightly yellowish brown , mostly dull brown colored liquid which is imiscible with water , and imiscible with denatured alcohol . A spot test on white paper towel leaves a light brown stain .
To the dull colored sample of unknown oily material was added an equal volume of 31.45% HCl and the test tube is swirled a few times to mix the imiscible liquids . In a few minutes the color brightens , and an emulsion is forming having the same bright red yellow color as is seen in the initial reaction mixture from which this sample has been withdrawn . After heating for a few minutes , the effect increases and a more and more finely dispersed and highly colored emulsion forms , actually it appears it may be going completely into
solution , without any of that opaque dark "milky" or solid pigmented appearance of suspended matter or
liquid in liquid dispersion . From this observation I think it is reasonable to
conclude that at least some excess of HCl to acetone is indeed required to drive the reaction to completion for producing the phorone dihydrochloride , and that this slight excess of theoretical requirement HCl is necessary for keeping the phorone dihydrochloride product in good solution in the reacted mixture . If the HCl amount is deficient , then an emulsion is going to be the result from digestion of the acetone HCl mixture , and some incompletely reacted acetone polymer , which will not only reduce the yield of phorone dihydrochloride , but produce a reacted mixture whose properties are inferior for the further reaction to be performed in the peroxidation step to follow . This mixture is pH sensitve , and needs the acidity of a little extra HCl to be fit for use . This observation is in agreement with the patent specification ,
so it would seem that the patent is correct on the molar ratio of HCl to acetone which is going to be useful .
I am going to add 25 ml of HCl to my
sealed bottle mixture and continue that experiment to see if everything goes into
solution again as hopefully the emulsion
and phase separation vanishes . That amount of added HCl should bring the
mixture up to the equal volumes of HCl and acetone referenced by the patent .

Yes, I agree


This is what I have to end up doing just to make sure all the acetone is converted to Phorone HCl
and then to Pentachlorophorone. However don't add too much or you end up overheating the reaction.
I used a modified version of R_Serts peroxidation technique.

Another thing... slowly add your H2O2 over the course of serveral hrs while the mixture is -20c -30c
in a cold freezer. I find this works very very well.

From what I have observed with my sealed bottle experiment , it definitely is
important to get the acetone to HCl ratio just right , with a bit in excess for HCl , to discourage separation of the product into water soluble and insoluble phases , and to avoid incomplete conversion of the polymerized acetone to phorone dihydrochloride . It would seem desirable to settle for a lower yield of the phorone dihydrochloride , but have it in a strong solution or stable dispersion which can be
diluted by the peroxide without that dilution causing a phase separation , as opposed to driving the reaction with high heat and long reaction times to get a higher yield of phorone dihydrochloride , but have it separate as an undilutable and water imiscible oil , or as a coarse emulsion . The reaction is best run with the right proportions of acetone and HCl from the start , and then it is my guess that when the reaction reaches that dark red orange color where it looks like freshly brewed very strong tea , barely transparent to a strong light but not yet cloudy , that is probably the point
where the heating should be ended and the product should be allowed to cool and peroxidized . Has anyone tested the mixture to see if this "cloud point" where
it begins to lose transparency , is a good marker for the point where good yields of DPPP will be obtained by the peroxidation ?

Looking back on my notes , it was only about 6 hours into the reaction at 66 C
when the dark red orange tint was developed and then at 7 and 1/2 hours
the mixture began clouding . So it looks like somewhere in that time window the
reaction was possibly mature . You follow what I am thinking , the mixture may produce more phorone hydrochloride with passing time , but it appears in a form which is less and less dispersed so it may give poorer response when diluted by the
water content of the peroxidation mixture . Does this sound reasonable ?

Holy shit... I just did a velocity test and look at this pic


Everyone ... drop your shit and look at this picture of my .223 shell velocity test against 4mm steel.

Both mini shaped charges were full of AP and or DPPP..
You can clearly see which subtance has more power.

1# AP charge with exactly the same # of grains as DPPP
detonation was strong enough only to nipple the primer and propell it and the base of the shell into the metal. primer was still in the bottom on the caseing which was retrieved later. :(


2# DPPP charge was strong enough to punch a BIG crater in the steel and propell the primer almost completely through the target. BIG blast marks are visible in the target surface indicating a MUCH higher velocity and energy signiture. I have pictures of the recovered metal fragments from the AP, whereas there was nothing left of the DPPP casing. The primer in the DPPP charge was atomized as well, but only the very bottom case rim although mageled was left! :) YES !!! THIS PROVES THE PATENT'S CLAIM!!!

That radial pattern spray of impact welded
fragments of brass is not something typical for the velocity of AP , more like usual for picric acid or better . That sort of surface gouging and or perforation by small fragments is an evidence of a brisant explosive , paricularly in the case of a softer metal like brass doing that to a harder metal like steel .

Did you actually measure that, It looks like something hacked from a filing cabinet. 4mm is quite heavy steel and small, high velocity, brass fragments are unlikely to bend the plate at that angle, rather it will crater, pit and gauge the steel. The cut marks look like ~1mm plate, through 4mm it would be straighter and less scrappy. Unless its prefabricated like that, those bends are very unlikely as well.

Sorry to those that would rather be misled and lied to, but I'm yet again calling bullshit. Credibility is everything, if one cant be trusted to report the true parameters of the experiment, how can on be believed that the results arn't fabricated to show what they <i>want</i> it to show.

I'm prepared to be proven wrong with a picture of the plate, side on, with a ruler for scale.

LOL

Yes that scrap of tin isn't any 3/16" plate ,
and as a former metalworker I did recognize that 18 gauge ( if that much ) for what it is , along with Quasimoto's habit for exaggeration other wise known as bullshitting in most circles :D

But you know , that doesn't change a thing about the impact welds in that starburst pattern .....even if there was no
"shaped charge" involved either (which there wasn't )

Now the exaggerations aren't cool at all ,
no not impressive trying to read through and separate the shit from the shinola .

You aren't talking to novices here , not by a long shot . So take a hint from Axt ,
underscored by yours truly and knock it off
with the bullshit . Save us the work of
guessing how much of what you say is true and how much is your idea of humor or an estimation on your part of the IQ of your audience . Science is about facts ,
not charisma and tale telling skill . Engineering is by the numbers , numbers that can't be faked . So get it or get on down the road . You'll be happier there

You'll find no cult following here , just a gang of dedicated proof testing skeptics .

I have to agree with that...if he could just make more solid statements it would certainly help...and hey...why not take the picture with the ruler and prove what is what? I'd love to see that.

Also Rosco, what % of Acetone and HCl are you using that has the excess HCl needed? One of the numbers I heard was something like 300ml Acetone to 200ml HCl, was that even close to what your using, or am I way off? Also have you had any more tests with adding the extra HCl just before the H2O2 to restart the reaction? Thanks

Seriously you have to try it out.. i am not kidding here.

GO DO SOME TESTS INSTEAD OF SITTING BEHIND A DESK A WAITING FOR OTHERS TO DO THEM FOR YOU!
Rosco, Radial patterns for AP is quite typical for a rounded shell charge they just don't create deep gouges since the dvol is low.

DPPP on the other hand is quite a different story.

Lets start the banning crap all over again guys, that will really help, HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!!

The equal volumes of acetone and HCl 31.45% would seem close to correct for
providing the slight excess of theoretical
requirement of 2 moles HCl per 3 moles acetone . You can do the math . A mole of acetone is 73.53 ml . A mole of HCl is contained in 100.06 ml of 31.45% HCl .

3 X 73.53 = 220.59 ml acetone
2 X 100.06 = 200.12 ml HCl 31.45%

If the amount of HCl is increased to be equal the amount of acetone the amount of HCl in relation to theoretical requirement will be 220.59 / 200.12 = 1.10 or 110% of theory , 10% excess of HCl required by theory provided by equal volumes .

From my observations of an acetone lossless reaction in a sealed bottle , a slight excess of HCl helps the solubility of the reaction product . There is an unstable "phase equilibria" affecting the polymer solution past a certain concentration where it reaches a "cloud point" and the
polymer solution degrades to an emulsion
and then futher develops phase separation of a water imiscible product .
It seems logical to me that for reaction with a peroxide solution which is 70% water , you are better off to have a reactant which is still a stable solution so that the components can be mixed intimately for reaction and not separate into imiscible phases which generally react only with difficulty and slowly . So
I think it is likely that the precursor needs
to be prepared according to a controlled
scheme and then very soon subjected to the peroxidation step to get reliably good yields .

Got anything you want to say rosco?


Hey, you wanted evidence , now you have it !!What the fuck to you means shaped charge? It fucking well was!
Give me your definition rosco?

What evidence are you talking about Hidiki? I hope you're not referring to that shity picture you posted above because I can't even tell what I'm looking at:P

What type of material did you use for the liner (the cone) of the shaped charge? How was the charge placed on the witness plate, was there any stand off, if so how far away was the charge from the witness plate???
