Hexane

[TheVacuumGuy]

I was looking over the properties of Hexane, and it seems a good fit do use as solvent .

It is also cheap. Anyone experience with it for Mephedrone synthesis ?

4-MMC has a higher soluble in polar solvents like DCM,Ethanol,Methanol...etc. Hexane has a low polarity leading it to be less efficient when interacting with the polar functional groups of the Mephedrone molecules .

DCM is as non polar as it gets, freebase mephedrone is soluble in non polar media and the hydrochloride in polar. Hexane is usually on the costly side if bought under this name but petroleum ether 40-60 mainly consists of hexanes. Wether is any good for this preparation? well, CHEM-IS-TRY

Yep, doesnt work
