Im wondering if more than 10g of P2NP can be added. Seems like a lot of work for such a small amount produced. Theres a shitload of aluminum in there and i cant help but wonder how much more could you react and still have efficient reduction. Could you maybe get away with 50g?
Is it a necessity to rinse the aluminum with mercury ? I see another synth does the same recipe expect no mercury wash and they use nickel and ethanol instead of iso and acid to hold the aluminum during rxn
Can someone explain what the chemical reaction is ? I understand some of what is happening but not enough. Is this a reduction, oxidation ? What is happening lol. The only thing I understand so far is aluminum dissolves in acids. What’s the in depth reaction ?
