Ammonium acetate is the best option if you cannot obtain cyclohexylamine.
The yield is not bad and the product is not very dirty. It only needs to be recrystallized once.
The last time I did the synthesis the yield was 100g from 90ml Nitroethane.
I haven't recrystallized it yet
This is my experience with ammonium acetate:
80ml benzaldehyde
80ml nitroethane
60g anhydrous ammonium acetate
70ml GAA
refluxed In a water bath, the temperature is close to boiling (I think 90°-95°) for 5-6h.
Shake the flask periodically
After 6h:
Let it cool to room temperature and...
There was a little oil floating on top of the water
And there was a benzaldehyde smell
This picture after heating for four hours
Then separate the aqueous layer, pour IPA and Put it in the freezer for 10 hours
And this is after shaking
No crystals appeared, then I evaporated I PA...
I put 10ml benzaldehyde, 10ml nitroethane, 2.5ml GAA, and 4g ammonium acetate in a flask
Heating at 60-70 °C for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, there were two layers, at the bottom a yellow layer and at the top a white layer. I put it in an ice bath for 2 hours (I don't have access...
Can you tell me all the steps of synthesis with ammonium acetate
How many ml of ammonium acetate did you use?
Did you use acetic acid?
Reflux time?
yield?
Thanks in advance
Thank you. I have also read this method in previous replies.
And Someone in the replies said:
The thing that I understood is that if I add acetic acid, I will not need a high temperature, and the synthesis time will decrease.
If I did the same amount as in the thread said
100ml...
I can't get cyclohexylamine nor butylamine but I can get ammonium acetate.
I'm going to do 100ml benzaldehyde, 100ml nitroethane and 25ml acetic acid.
So how much ammonium acetate will I need?
If you want it for personal use, it should not be in the form of a pill
Just weigh the powder and you will know how much the pill weighs.
But if you want to make pills for resale or any other reason, you will need a pill die (you can buy it from AliExpress).
Weigh the powder and put it in...
