what?


You need to be much more clear and specific. What are you trying to extract ethyl vanilin from? Or it kind of seems like you are asking if benzaldehyde can be extracted from ethyl vanilin, and if that is indeed what you are asking no it can not be done. So really please be more clear and specific, I understand if English is not your first language but try to be more clear.

Ethylvanillin is benzaldehyde with a hydroxy and ethoxy group attached to the benzene ring. It is <u>impossible</u> to remove these.

Try looking up the chemical structures of these compounds and learning different types of reactions (its lots of fun)

There are lots of methods discussed on the forum.

"Ethyl vanillin" is (the incorrect name for) a compound, otherwise known by its trivial name of bourbonal and chemical name 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Thus, being a compound nothing can be extracted from it but itself. A compound does not contain any benzaldehyde just because its name contains the word "benzaldehyde". Please learn the very basic of chemistry by reading some elementary school book for chemistry (also read the definition of chemical compound to understand why your question is inconsistent).

Also, please learn forum conventions and open threads in proper sections. Moving thread to Beginnings section...

I think you should skip the ephedrine experiments and the Benzaldahyde experiment and jump right into some cyanide production. Its simple and we have a few threads here on how to make it.... And hey.... it smells like almonds i hear so perhaps that has some benzaldahyde in it as well right.

"I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes. The fall of Rome, the fall of Germany — the fall of the ruling country, the people who think they can do whatever they want without anybody else's consent. I've seen this story before."~Maynard James Keenan
