Seems like you'd first need to hydrolyze it to monomers, and then convert it to dioxane via some means such as heating with sulfuric acid. Those
individual steps should be easy enough to research, I know that the latter at least has been discussed on this forum.

Question
would calcium hydroxide work for a base catalysed hydrolysis of acetylsalicyclic acid to salicyclic acid?
is there any way to know when the reaction has come to completion?

Boiling water is enough to get the decomposition going, so I'm going to say "yes."

If I'm going to guess, calcium salicylate won't be very soluble. Boiling water works, but adding a few drops HCl speeds it up and makes the workup
easier.

Where can I find general a procedure on forming ketone and aldehyde sodium bisulfite adducts?
http://www.erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/eleusis/bisu... This is the closest I have gotten.
I plan on separating the benzaldehyde from almond extract. Im going to try with acetone also.

I have a quick question regarding removing the acetyl group from n-acetyl-4-piperidone what I am wondering is were I to reflux with a slight molar
excess of potassium hydroxide will I shed the acetyl leaving the 4-piperidone in tact? If you have any experience I would love to hear from you as
well if you might have any pertinent refs all aid would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can find a good preparation for:
Diethyl azodicarboxylate
Thanks!
I never asked for this.

I distilled technical quality toluene, to keep it completely anhydrous I added a few thin flakes of pure Na.
two days later they look like this:
what could there be in redistilled toluene that turns brown in contact with Na or NaOH?
Do I need to distill it again, or can I get away with filtration? (400ml)

Seems like sodium oxide - I get that brown/yellow finish on my sodium as well. Not in toluene, though.

Ok, thanks. Do I need to re-distill it or can I just filter the floating ''stuff'' out?

Should probably re-distill it, but either way works. The 'stuff' should also keep your solution dry, so best to keep it in there long-term.

Probably through hydrolysis. Fe3+ + H2O + OAc- -> Fe(OH)2+ + HOAc.
With enough acetate ion, you'll get iron(III) hydroxide precipitating.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

Check the library here. This is covered in "purification of laboratory chemicals."
I would do a fractional distillation first. You could skip the bisulfite step as most oil of bitter almond is 98% (or more) benzaldehyde.

Try strong base in ethylene glycol or DMSO. 4-piperidone polymerizes on formation so it is sold as the dihydro-HCl. The water molecules are a
formality since it is actually a diketal. Let me know how it goes or send me what you've got and I'll give you an eq amt of the product of commerce.

Calcium carbide is actually an acetylide- a strong base, but one can work with it. Avoid esters and alcohols, obviously, but you need something polar
or it won't dissolve. Acetonitrile is probably to acidic; acetone is too vulnerable to nucleophilic attack...I'd try THF. Even if it's not very
soluble, it might disperse enough to be a good reaction medium.
For an alkali metal acetylide, you might be able to make it more soluble by adding TMEDA (tetramethylethylenediamine).

(I don't know much about organic chem so I may say something stupid)From what I have seen on SM CaC2 does not seem to react with ethanol. Might it be
slightly soluble in that? I would also wonder about liquid ammonia.

Online sources typically state the concentration of selenium in dietary supplements to be 200 micrograms per tablet. Considering each tablet weighs
considerably more than 200 ug, what's the rest?
