Greetings, ScienceMadness! I have an excess of glacial acetic acid I've synthesized/fractionated that I would be willing to sell to anybody
interested. The transaction would go through eBay (I have already been approved to sell acetic acid on eBay specifically), so no worries in that area.
As far as costs go, just post or PM what you would like to pay, and quantity. Also, if you need a small amount, I would be happy to send it just for
the price of the glass bottle and shipping.
One additional thing, if anybody needs other uncontrolled chemicals, I have worked as a organic/biological chemist over the course of many years, and
would be more than happy to synthesize and send them to you, as long as it's for a legitimate, legal usage (of course). Thank you, and I look forward
to communicating with all of you!Random - 21-9-2013 at 00:15
Title is somewhat misleading as anhydrous acetic isn't glacial acetic acid. Other than that I'm sure someone will find this helpful.unionised - 21-9-2013 at 01:39
<strong>TMCG</strong>, we're usually a little wary of dealing with newcomers. Perhaps you'd care to introduce yourself a little bit more?
At least tell us what area you're from, so we know where you'll be able to ship.

And that of course is the definition of anhydrous. He never claimed to have the anhydride. Even the wiki article for glacial acetic acid that you
linked to describes it as:
Quote:
Glacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free (anhydrous) acetic acid.
So I see no issue with the description, it is only someone who is unaware of the intricacies of nomenclature that would be caught unaware.Pyro - 21-9-2013 at 07:26
it is confusing, My post was a reply to random.
but true, the whole thing is confusing DJF90 - 21-9-2013 at 07:29
Its not confusing at all, at least not to those skilled in the art.
My question is, how is he making it? Maybe he has a mini-Monsanto plant, or uses a ketene generator.
The issue I have with people selling reagents, is are they determining concentration/purity, and how.

Yes, apologies to anybody who was confused. I believe you understand what I mean now. Just to assure you, I intended "glacial acetic
acid" (C2H4O2), not acetic anhydride. If anybody needs more clarifications, don't hesitate!

Absolutely. Well, as I said, I'm an organic and biological chemist. While it is a job, it is a passion (if not greater than a passion) for me; it
never ceases to amaze me. As far as personal information, I'm an east coaster, near Washington, D.C. I will ship anywhere UPS allows it to be shipped.

Did you notice that one of those compounds is not called acetic acid?
Acetic acid (even if it is anhydrous) is not the same as acetic anhydride.bfesser - 21-9-2013 at 12:11
That sounds great, <strong>TMCG</strong>. Thanks for the introduction.
As far as anhydrous acetic acid goes, anyone who confuses it with acetic anhydride is just <em>being</em> an idiot. Learn your
nomenclature, it's really not that difficult. <em>Glacial</em> acetic acid is an antiquated term and/or a colloquialism. Anhydrous
acetic acid is unambiguous.
[Don't be offended. Everyone has their idiot moments. I'm not implying that you're always an idiot.]
[edit] <strong>Pyro</strong>, however; you are just wrong.

How are you synthesising it?TMCG - 24-9-2013 at 12:40

Is anybody interested in any chemicals for this part as well?
Also, thank you all for the kind welcoming, and exposing me to a little [good] taste of Sciencemadness. sonogashira - 25-9-2013 at 01:07
Thanks for ignoring my question.TMCG - 25-9-2013 at 09:47
Apologies for that! I did type a respond but accidentally posted without it. To duly answer your question, I synthesized it using a basic catalytic
carbonylation of methanol.bfesser - 25-9-2013 at 10:12
Can you provide some details on the analysis? How was purity determined?
