Steam P2P Distillation as a Purification Method

No one is essential in life. But if there weren't people like G. PATTON in this forum, this wouldn't be the same. The knowledge of organic chemistry that this man possesses and shares is impressive. Thank you my general.

Welcome
I would like to know what temperature the p2p flask is at during steam distillation. Do we need to heat the p2p or does the steam do the job?
thank you for your effort

Greath video,from the master,always good info

I don't know why you make things hard for yourselves buy using a one neck flask 2 neck with the steam coming on from the side neck

Hello, heat up to boiling of the RM. The temperature is changing.

We used an equipment, which we had. It's worth to use Liebeg condencer, not Allihn.

Exactly Liebig or west condenser

This was cool for you to cover because the yield and quality of of your synthesis is going to be much better with a refined propene for sure as I believe Gordonramsey has covered very extensive but thanks g. Patton you're wisdom being shared to people that wouldn't think to refine the p2p maybe after a few runs depending on if they're using intermideates etc etc, I really wanna do a bmk to p2p and use that to go with the aluminum amalgam but I suppose that would be because I have no source for propene at the moment and if one can use all intermideates to get to their desired precursor well I think that's the dream, self sustaining and what not

Is steam distillation of P2P really better than vacuum distillation, Or it gives the same results?

It is easier (need less electricity and time) and get higher yield.
