Hello, I have been testing this synthesis and have a few questions about it:
1. when adding methylamine 40% in point 3, do you add it all at once, or in small portions making sure the mixture does not exceed 60 degrees?
2. point 4 mentions cold pure water, can it be cooled with dry ice to these 3-5 degrees C?
3. point 8 mentions ice-cold acetone, can I add a large amount of dry ice to it to cool it to -30 / -50 degrees C?
4. point 9 mentions putting the whole thing in the freezer, what is the purpose of this and is it necessary?
In general, I tested this synthesis, I must admit that it works and is fabulously simple, no less I used acetone at 5-10 degrees C, making the final product blue and impossible to rinse. I think it has to do with the warm acetone, at point 8, making a dimmer or some other form of impurity. Do I understand this correctly?
I would like to ask someone in the subject to answer as to the above 4 questions. Greetings
