Hi folks, hope all is well.

With the following chems I have, what is the fastest way to synthesize 4mmc ,

4methylpropiophenone
Hbr48%
H202 35%
Ma40%
Naco3

Appreciate any quick ways to get to 4mmc or 2b4m...like 5hours (2b4m) to 15 hours(4mmc) would be awesome. Please help..

You do need a bout a day for it.
The 4mmc the fastest way can be obtained by nmp + dcm reaction (20min reaction), cooling down several minutes, washing about 30-60min, then acidificaction with hbr + water. Salt is already obtainted at 1c temp (ice bath)
Product is filtered and purified by crystalisation. First batch of Crystals can be obtained within 3-5h since the start.
