Hello,
I have SnCl4:5H2O (white solid) and I want to get to SnCl4 (clear liquid).
Can this be done?
TIA,

If it's soluble in toluene you could reflux it with a dean-stark until 5 eq of water are collected and distill to separate. The latter step under N2

Does anybody know of an OTC source of methyl acrylate?
I am attempting to perform a Michael addition and i need this compound. If not, does anybody know of a synthesis for it that can be performed at lab
scale?

I am looking for a vacuum controller so I can accurately measure and control the vacuum of my pump. There is a vacuum controller at the lab I worked
at which connected the vacuum to the rotovap. It was small about 6" by 8" by 2". It had an simple digital display and several buttons, two arrows one
up one down, two set point buttons, a run/stop button, a max vac button and a vent button.
The vacuum connected directly to the back of the controller and then went to the rotovap. I have looked on eBay but despite having several pages of
vacuum controllers none have a vacuum port at the back, only electronic ports. Any advice? I can't have a computer in my lab.

I use the jkem dvr to regulate my vacuum. Bought one off of ebay. It has two ports on the back. A vacuum in and the out port. It connects to the
vacuum source and cycles a solenoid valve to control the vacuum precisely based on the setting.

Making chloro-phenols can be done by simply bubbling Cl2 through a solution of phenol in water. I am only interested in making 2,4,6 trichlorophenol
and don't want the others. Is this last compound the main product, or even the only product when Cl2 is passed through an aqueous solution of phenol?
Another more convenient method of making 2,4,6 trichlorophenol could be adding a solution of NaOCl or Ca(OCl)2 to a solution of phenol and then adding
slight excess of HCl. The chlorine, formed in the solution, then immediately is used up by making chlorophenol. I tried this and the clear colorless
solution becomes turbid on adding HCl and after a few minutes a big oily yellow/orange blob collects at the bottom. I used excess hypochlorite and
after the reaction there is a faint smell of chlorine and some other somewhat "burned phenolic" smell. This smell is VERY persistent. Is this oily
blob the desired 2,4,6 trichlorophenol?

You want the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol to make TCPO, the oxalate ester? If so, I would extract with DCM, wash the DCM with water, and distill off the DCM.
This should give reasonably pure 2,4,6-trichlorophenol if this is your purpose, and some di- or mono-chlorinated impurities shouldn't really be a
problem for the chemiluminescent experiment purpose.
You could use other solvents, but because it's so smelly I would want a solvent that boils of at an as low temperature as possible to prevent
excessive evaporation of the compound.
I think it is trichlorphenol, because I have read somewhere that it indeed has a very persistent smell, and can be detected at around 1ppb. A reason
why I would never make it, because I live near neighbours. And AFAIK, phenol and aniline are so reactive that they are directly chlorinated to the
trichloro-compound with chlorine.
Maybe you could test it's acidity. It have not searched it, but it should be a quite acidic compound.

is there anyway of estimating the volume of an underground tank without emptying or filling it? The only viewing point i have for it is the standard 3
inch petroleum pipe coming up out of the floor, its full of diesel and is about 2 metres deep but have no idea of the girth.

I am going to try making a sealed stirrer out of a blender blade unit, tentatively by placing the housing over an appropriately-sized pvc pipe and
tightening a hollowed-out endcap over it to seal the gasket, then by manipulating the blades so as to affix a stirring shaft.
I guess my question is, can anyone think of a better way in which to make a diy sealed stirrer?

i would answer differently depending upon whether your system in under vacuum or pressure and if it is imperative for nothing to ingress or exit.
However i have designed and made and used over a couple of years now a 'sealed' stirrer that can be used for either with decent efficacy. There are
some limitations however there are some ways those also.
I need to draw a diagram, i'll edit this post later after i have drawn and scanned it.

Does anyone have any solubility data for n,n-dimethyltryptophan? Basically I'm looking for a way to separate it from tryptophan. I'm thinking the
addition of the methyl groups should make it even less soluble in water (tryptophan is 11.4g/L (http://www.drugs.com/mmx/l-trytophan.html)).
Cheers!

I don't know the exact program used to create those images but a program called Mercury is apparently quite good and free.
Search for "Mercury - Crystal Structure Visualisation and Exploration Made Easy" It should be the first result.

I don't know if you can or not, but I
have done it without problems. I used vacuum distillation since the BP is nearly 200 C at atmospheric pressure, which is quite a bit above the flash
point. I used magnetic stirring because a solid separates out of the antifreeze that I distilled. Don't pour the waste out where animals could drink
it. Dogs like it because it tastes sweet, but ingestion causes kidney failure.

Would you consider it too dangerous at 1atm then? I have a mantle, so there won't be any sparks / flames anywhere around.

You may get some decomposition depending on the additives. You can try it on a smaller scale with the brand you're planning to use; worth doing
anyhow just to determine the rough amount of di- and tri ethylene glycols and other low volatility components.

There's a method that's been used for spacecraft and such; basically you use a piston - a loudspeaker even - to change the air pressure, the pressure
change in the system vs the piston excursion allows you to calculate the void space (air). To get the total volume you need to know the tank geometry,
or do this when the tank is nearly empty, or do it at several differing depths of fill and estimate the geometry from the void/depth data.
Another possibility is to stick a bright LED and a video camera (webcam grade) in something like a large test tube, and lower that into the tank to
image the interior. Only give you a rough idea, but perhaps good enough for corporation work.

I haven't looked up the autoignition temperature, but
I have a feeling that it's too close for (my) comfort. If the glassware should break when the vapors are above the autoignition temperature it will
flash without an ignition source.
If distilled at atmospheric pressure, don't run cooling water through the condenser, lest it break. Better to cool it with the air from a small fan.
Better to set yourself up for vacuum distillations.
Edit: After reading bbartlog's post, I looked up the autoignition temperature and found that it's 400 C. So perhaps an atmospheric distillation is
safe after all. But I still just don't like to heat chemicals to a higher temperature than I have to. I'm getting too old to enjoy the excitement of
a fire in the basement!

I've distilled ethylene glycol from commercial antifreeze at regular atmospheric pressure a number of times. Seems to work fine. I'm not sure why the
flash point should be of particular interest; I mean people distill ethanol on a regular basis and it has a flash point below room temperature. In
fact, based on a messy incident I had back before I even had (all) glass equipment (ethylene glycol and HCl spouting out of a flask which was above an
open flame) I'd say that ethylene glycol is simply not very flammable at all.
But by all means distill at reduced pressure if you have the gear for it. Maintaining 197C (at least in my case) required using a fairly short path
and insulating the neck of the flask. Lower temperature seems preferable if it's convenient.
