Greetings
So after gaining enough theoretical knowledge, it was time to practice and I managed to get the reactions right the first time. The efficiency of this method is about 50%, which is still quite good for the first time. The syntheses were carried out on a much smaller scale because instead of 1000g, we started with 10g of 2BV with the correct proportions of Pyrrolidine and EtOH.
But something strange happened during the desalting of the apvp, or more precisely after about 60 minutes in the freezer most of the liquid turned into a frozen mush with the consistency of soft clay (visually). We decided to filter some of this slurry and, surprisingly, 1.5h after starting the synthesis, we had a ready-made portion of pure Alpha-PVP on the plate. HCl.
Suspiciously, we just got a bit lucky and the whole synthesis went perfectly and we were lucky with the purity of the reagents used during the synthesis. The product came out really strong and efficient, with doses of 50mg doing the job.
In addition, we were also able to obtain Apvp using HBr instead of HCl. The result was satisfactory despite a much lower yield.
Does anyone have any idea why the waiting time for the salt to precipitate differed significantly from that stated in the video?
