so, folowed all the steps, all was very very good, step by step with success... the last step, cristalization by distilling-(evaporate the IPA / xylene with HCL) , the crystals came up, sticked in the bottom, but very very brown... then when allowed to evaporate, tried to wash with acetone , and just a small of brown colour went away, but the big problem is the smell...dont smell like safrole, in fact smell like xylene, just a few , but smell like xylene...
the cristals i put on heated IPA in saturated to see what size of crustals i get tomorrow , i have to say that the melting point is correct 100% , and the yiels was EXACT as described in the old rhodium recipe, all was PERFECT , UNLESS THE SMELL AND COLOUR.
i have to say that the new pmk , the wax one never give a perfect yellow clear oil as old one, this new KETONE will be brown...tried all to clean but it seems its just dark brown per se, so i suppose the very brown crystals are ok ...but PLEASE!! HELP ME WITH THAT SMELL, There something i missed? how can get rid of the xylene? just evaporating is not enough?
tnx in advance
