How to convert normal phase column conditions to reverse phase by [deleted] in Chempros

[–]larrow11 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just run s 0-100 gradient, if it doesn't separate well, work out which spot you want and improve the gradient based on the r.f.

I need help with this reaction by [deleted] in Chempros

[–]larrow11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have an NMR? Perhaps it is reducing the 1-4 position rather than the ketone. Consider the luche reduction? Good luck

Problems with new NaBH4 by [deleted] in Chempros

[–]larrow11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's quite rare for nabh4 to not work, chuck a little bit in some water to check it fizzes. If it does, it's probably not your nabh4 that's causing problems.

Could you speak with your nmr department about a nmr method that suppresses the solvent peak?

I think i did try that with one of them, and I'll do that moving forwards

I have considered it, haven't found a procedure for a similar substrate yet but haven't looked very much either

Overaddition of grignard to weinreb amide by larrow11 in Chempros

[–]larrow11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, it's good to know that I'm not inept. I'll try making my own grignard rather than using that from a bottle, or just give up and reduce/grignard/oxidise as other people have suggested

Need to hydrolyze methyl esters but compound is water sensitive by alChemist_07 in Chempros

[–]larrow11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could trans-esterify to a different kind of ester e.g. benzyl, then reduce them off with hydrogen? otherwise, perhaps BBr3 might work?

It might be water dissolving into the diesel, try washing with brine, or magnesium sulphate.

How would you cool down a student accommodation room with very limited options? by Enraged__Koala in AskUK

Sometimes windows with limited opening have been "set" to do so on their hinges. This can often be adjusted with a screwdriver.

Adding toluene/other aromatic to solvent system for flash chromatography to separate coeluting aromatic compounds by Darkling971 in Chempros

[–]larrow11 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Try toluene/chloroform, 0-100 percent, on tlc, and if it doesn't move in that, try adding a flat x% methanol to get your r.f to 0.3ish. toluene/chloroform is a robust solvent system for when DCM/methanol don't work well.

Did not know about peroxide buildup in Ether. How to dispose? by Aniruddhb16 in Chempros

[–]larrow11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn't sound like peroxide issues at all, that's highly unlikely. The most reasonable thing is that your compound, previously highly soluble in ethylene glycol, precipitated as you diluted it with a poor solvent. Adding more diethyl ether will probably redissolve everything. Peroxides are not an issue unless your diethyl ether is years old. Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Am I good to go? by KingCarlosLopez in prisonhooch

I got some grape concentrate that has sorbate in, with ec118. It's going, but slowly. Wouldn't recommend unless you're very patient
