A bear in my dreams said, "I reacted a methoxyphenyl Grignard with another interesting chemical and the reaction was hot enough to burn me when I placed my hand on the side of the jar. Good sign! The huge pickle jar was allowed to sit for about 20 hours, then it was time for quenching. I added a bunch of ammonia, water and a little ammonium chloride to it. It immediately got hot, then I had to bring it down to my basement, because it started to boil! I used excess Mg in my Grignard, so is that the reason for it being at a pissed off, violent boil? Can all this heat ruin my legal analogue? The bastard's been boiling for about 20 minutes now! I put a ceramic pot under it that's designed for ovens just in case the jar breaks. It just makes me nervous when I can't control a reaction. I thought about dumping all of it into a 10 gallon bucket and overwhelming it with water, but I'm worried that the solvents in the reaction mixture will dissolve the plastic.

I opened it for a second, and all I could see was boiling grey matter. A little chem/water vapor hit me in the face when I opened it, and now I'm feeling a little altered! <br>  When the chems are finished reacting, I need to separate the non-polar toluene, product, ether from the water and slop. Usually, I sprinkle sodium chloride into it until two distinct layers form, but I have a problem, because the salt I have is fucking iodized. How can I remove this shit from the salt?
