Question for Experts or those known to this phenomenon
After finished reductions from P2NP via Al/Hg or P2NP via NaBH4/CuCl2 the obtained IPA is yellow-orange color
After distilling off this IPA without vacuum just normal steam distillation the IPA get even more deep orange - red color
Why is this? Why doesn't it stay yellow or transparent?
Could this be impurities from reactions?
I want to obtain pure transparent A-oil from this IPA, should I distill off all the IPA slowly, then add water to A-oil and make again steam distillation?
@HIGGS BOSSON @William Dampier @btcboss2022 and anyone else with experience in this synthesis please help
