Have you looked into Isophytol or Cubebol for accessible high boiling point tertiary alcohols?
2018-07-12 04:50:08 +0000 UTCWould you please check out the suitability of dimethyldioxane as a solvent for Grignards instead of diethyl ether. If it works then it might open up the possibility of dirtier 'ghetto' Grignard ormation at higher temperature.

2018-07-08 06:03:21 +0000 UTCoh the diagram might be a touch misleading (but chemists always right it like that). The H2S04 isn't consumed, it's the catalyst, it's still around as H2S04. It's just in the tar now.

2018-07-07 22:50:29 +0000 UTCOK, this may be a dumb question, it didn't hit me until I saw the diagrams in this version. What happens with the H2, S, and O2 that seem to be left over/behind in the synthesis and subsequent distillation? Does the H2 and O2 take their leave as gas and leave the S behind? Sulfoxylic acid (H2SO2) seems too unstable to be and end state. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) + oxygen (O2) maybe? (Or am I counting wrong?)
