Ethyl Acetate (EA) is hydrolyzed by methylamine and gives ethanol and methylacetamide. Oxidization of 4-mmc freebase into acetate is also possible.
Why performing the distillation of cheap EA, jeopardizing your valuable freebase if you can use easy-to-make HCL in EA and distill after that?

I have recently started doing this as I have ethyl acetate much cheaper than Acetone.
Will this negatively affect the yield or quality of the product?

Having a pure 4MMC base in Toluene, can I add an equal volume of ethyl acetate and desalt with hydrochloric acid to PH 5.5 without any problem?
