What have you smoked? You asked that last week in Post 475089 (ADDkid: "Benzyl cyanide Propose Mech", Methods Discourse) Edit: Ok, editing your post huh... In what unit do you want the difficulty expressed? Please specify your question some more... The Hive - Clandestine Chemists Without Borders |

Really sorry about that, that was truly and... | ||||||
Really sorry about that, that was truly and accident. How diffcult is ether to dry. Should one just distill ether from engine starter, or make. If one wanted to react this R-MgBr compound with CO2, would dry ice be a must, or could one use CO2 from the little metal canisters. Thanks ADDkid |

ether | ||||||
Well, I'm not sure if the ether isolated from a home synthesis or from starting gas is pure enough for use in a grignard reaction. To dry the ether, you need something along the lines of sodium or at least molecular sieves, drying with MgSO4 etc is not enough. If you use CO2 gas instead of dry ice, I think you will have a lot of problems adding the correct amount, as well as blowing oxygen into the solution by mistake - not to mention the spattering of leading a high-pressured gas into a solution.

Preparations (Rated as: good read) |
||||||
Another method of drying ethyl ether is in Post 247216 (lugh: "Re: Drying Ether With NaOH", Chemistry Discourse); for preparing ether, the catalytic method of Senderens is rather facile: Catalytic dehydration of aliphatic alcohols, in the vapor phase, in the presence af pumice soaked with sulfuric and phosphoric acids. JEAN-BAPTISTE SENDERENS. Compt. rend. 192, 1335-7(1931); cf. C. A. 24, 4256.-The vapors of MeOH, EtOH, PrOH, iso-PrOH and iso-BuOH were passed through an electrically heated tube contg. a porcelain boat with pumice soaked with 50-2° Be. H2SO4. The last 3 alcohols. gave results similar to those obtained with NaHSO4. EtOH and MeOH were dehydrated, yielding Et20 and Me20, resp., the former at 135° in theoretical yield and the latter in greater quantity than that produced with Al2O2 at 300°. S. considers this method preferable to that generally used for the synthesis of Et2O. At 140° some C2H4 was also produced. After 8 days of operation at 8 hrs. per day, the contents of the boat appeared to be unaltered and the tube was dry. The pumice has an influence on the course of the reaction, for without it a black liquid was formed. Substitution of H2P04 for H2SO4 gave C2H4 at 180-5°, but the activity is very much less than that of H2SO4 and less than that of H2PO4 in Iiquid-phase operations. ![]() 50 to 52° Baume is equal to 63-65% H2SO4. A high yield Grignard carboxylation was published by Ivanoff: ![]() ![]() Chemistry is our Covalent Bond |

The chemistry of... pumice? | ||||||
Is this the igneous rock sold for removing calloused skin? How often is this used in chemistry and how does it work? |
