Synthesis of 4'-methylpropiophenone. Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Thanks @CARLITOBRO for sharing
I like how they explained safety shit, and how they used voice modulating so they were actually explaining it, instead of having to pause it to read the captions (which are also awesome).:thank you for sharing
 
1. A stable solvent is needed for the reaction, the reaction in the excess of toluene is dirtier.
2. The temperature, the lower, the cleaner passes (I used up to -50, but about 0 or -20 degrees enough)
3. Fetting distillation of dirty keton in high vacuum The best solution in this case.
 
Awesome video, glad they put the disclaimer and explained why to not distill the ketone.
I was going to make this comment also. This is why is it good to look into things before you try them first yourself. You can easily save yourself a massacre and waste just by taking a few minutes to explore some different things about what you intend to do or get out of it.

Wouldn't it be great if everybody kept notes like this about all their science experiments. The things that experts take for granted but are intimidating and unexplored realms to the new bee. The finer points of vacuum distillation of OTC products and purification of other common reagents etc. I'm sure everyone who has been doing these things for a while, each individual has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, do's and don'ts. What is prone to bump and flash and so on... don't mop with your floor with ammonia and bleach at the same time :D See, we should be having AI do useful things like compile and organize all this information.
 
Is this usable for making methcathinone, as in the synthesis of propiophenone to methcathinone from hbr and methylamine ?
