Nitrostyrene-like reduction
Hello,
to perform a nitrostyrene reduction, I've read that is needed acetic acid. I know the acetic acid is a polar protic solvent, so is that why we need
the acid, to dissolve the nitrostyrene? Could anyone please explain me this point? Thanks you all!

No idea what do you mean about "obvius cooks", I'm only trying to understand that reduction mechanism.

I don't think its cooking, he wants to understand a reaction that interests him

No, nothing like that. Nothing like erowid-related.
I'm interested in halogenated benzene ring, its polymers and redox reactions of different "strenght" (sorry for the lack of chemical language, amateur
chemist here).
So, I want to understand why they mention to use acetic acid, and if its to dissolve the nitrostyrene, should it work with halogenated compounds?

Why is there even a science forum, when every question gets belittled with drug cook acquisitions?
Keep being interested in chemistry lestimao, regardless if your interest lies with making "illegal substances"

That's my attitude too . . .

If you were able to read that, you might as well read also the forum guidelines and learn that we are not clairvoyant. How could you ever expect a
meaningful reply, if you don't even give the reference for the reaction you talk about?
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)

Now's my chance before this possibly gets sent to detritus!
It's pronounced Cule (like in cube). Nothing personal. It's more directed toward life and not you. Study up though. Try to not look foolish.
