      Gum Sprits     

Swig was wonder if he could use gum spirits (turpentine) to do acid base extractions,  all the msds say is don't mix with chlorine and strong oxd.

      Not good     

It is not suitable for such purposes, as turpentine is relatively high-boiling, contains a lot of impurities and has low solvent power (due to it being very non polar). It is even a worse solvent than xylene.
