Hello,

I tried this synth but is practically impossible to move the magnetic stirrer, all the iron gets stuck on it not allowing to move( is normal about magnet) haahaha how do you fix that?

Thanks.

What's the obtained yield in P2P from this synthesis?

Hi
sorry but such a detail the proportions do not match
Other proportions in reagents
Other proportions in synthesis
I'm thinking about checking this synthesis
Long synthesis

P2np to p2p



Add to a 500ml Round bottomed boiling flask (RBF) with 3 necks
central neck has an overhead stirrer - IMPORTANT has to be an overhead stirrer and has to be powerful enough to keep iron powder from settling on the bottom, cannot use magnetic stirring as it does not have enough power to keep the iron powder up in the solution and the iron messes with the magnetic stirring anyway.
side neck has a long reflux condenser with cold water supplied
2nd side neck has a pressure-equalising addition funnel filled with 0.197 mole of conc. hydrochloric acid 35.5% in the below example thats is 20.2 ml

The RBF is in a water or oil bath to keep internal reaction temperature at 85 to 95 degC.

Add to RBF:
0.1 mole of P2NP (P2NP 163.2 g/mole) = 16.23g of P2NP
0.715 mole of iron (Fe 55.85 g/mole) = 40g of iron (Fe) - cast iron turnings or ideally 40 mesh iron powder (powder 0.4 mm size)
Note: Activate a metal normally involves rinsing it with a strong mineral acid like hydrochloric acid or alkali like sodium hydroxide solution for a few minutes to remove any layer of oxidation that prevents it from reacting, after this rinse with distilled water twice and use immediately else store under non-polar liquid until ready use required.
However in this reduction of nitroalkene to ketone, hydrochloric acid is one of the reagents, therefore activation can occur in situ.

75ml of distilled water
0.1g of ferric chloride - acts as an initialization catalyst - helps reaction start faster

Acid from addition funnel is added slowly over 5 to 6 hours, so as to keep the reaction going but not explosively so, reflux should never reach over half way up the reflux condenser.
At the end the reaction mixture was then basified with 25% NaOH solution until pH 11 and then steam distill the P2P oil over to a receiver.
Yield should be 75 to 77% P2P from the P2NP ie. P2P 134.3 g/mol so 0.1 mole is 13.42g and 0.75 to 0.77 % yield = 10g (9.94ml) to 10.3g (10.24ml) (Density of P2P is 1.006 g/mL)

This reaction can be scalled up to quite a large size, the molar equivalents are:
molar ratio of Fe/alkene = 7.15
molar ratio of HCl/Alkene = 1.97
1.97 x 0.1 mole of p2NP=0.197 moles of HCl x HCl 36.458 g/mol = 7.18g HCl
if you have concentrated hydrochloric acid 35.5% that means it has 355g/L, or 35.5g/100ml so 718g / 0.355 = 20.2ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid 35.5% to be added via addition funnel

So a 1 mole reaction would use a 5L RBF with 163.2 g of P2NP, 7.15 mole of Fe (7.15 x 55.85 g/mol) = 400g of iron powder, 750ml of distilled water, 1g of Ferric Chloride and 202ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid 35.5%
Yield would be 100g (99.4ml) to 103g (102.4ml) of P2P


Note: For a cheap overhead stirrer:
From ebay you can get a cheap PTFE stirrer bearing to fit the correct size of your boiling flask central neck, you can get a steel stirrer coated in PTFE to protect it from the acid, you can get a bench supply that supplies 0-30V 0-3A for about £30, and you can get a DC motor from certain handheld blenders cheap which you can take apart and connect motor shaft to stirrer shaft, stirrer shaft goes through bearing (pre-grease internal bearing ring with vaseline to help reduce friction), connect the motor to the bench power supply, set the current high enough to supply to motor, then vary speed by increasing/decreasing voltage.

PTFE Standard Stopper Lab Stirrer Bearing Adapter Stirrer Accessory No.29
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313672059695
£10.84
This will fit a 29/32 socket on a boiling flask, it uses a stirrer shaft of 8mm diameter
Findind a PTFE coated stirrer with shaft diameter 8mm tricky most on ebay 7mm so it maybe best to order both items from laborxing that's 2 weeks to arrive but they have high quality equipment.

https://www.laborxing.com/products/ptfe-stirring-blades-propeller-2-winged-length-250-mm-to-750-mm

Bench power supply 0-30V 0-10A - potentially this is powerful enough to run electrochemical reactions, and peltier cooling modules
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09ZQBFZ4C
£44.99
You should be able to find a cheaper one because you only need 0-3A, maybe if the motor you pick up is high torque then 0-5A

Has anyone tried this method and scaled it upwards? I tried it today, used
32.6g p2np
60g Fe
12g FeCL
88ml 33% HCI
300ml toluene
1100ml water
500ml 10.45% HCI.

Doesnt seem very practical if im trying to go 1kg p2np, i wont have glasswares big enough.
Does anyone have better proportions.
Its alot simpler this method, downside is it really stains the porcelain when pouring away the unwanted layer.

I'm a little curious on what purpose the water serves in step 3? It seems to go straight through the toluene solution and stays separated.

Cardboard1234Hi, It is utilized in order to get rid of water soluble salts, which are form during this reaction.

William DampierHello, just want to make sure I understand this correctly.

step 2: after filtering the dark green suspension, I have a slightly green solution only with a few drop of brown solution. What layers do you mean to separate?

step 3: I have to pour toluene into the aqueous layer and extract the toluene solution a few times before mixing the toluene extracts with hydrochloric acid, water, sodium bicarbonate solution, water successively.

step 4: the toluene (top) layer is separated again and added MgSO4 over an hour or so to remove any water in the solution.

step 5: boil the solution to 110 to evaporate the toluene.

is that correct?

Cardboard1234It is obvious from the text that there are two layers: aqueous and organic
step 2: after filtering the dark green suspension, I have a slightly green solution only with a few drop of brown solution. What layers do you mean to separate?
It worth to use vacuum distillation (rotovap). Also, I recommend you to distill P2P before following synthesis.
step 5: boil the solution to 110 to evaporate the toluene.

I was able to follow the steps until step 4, but once I start heating the solution to evaporate the toluene, the mixture turns red like this with a very dark colour. Any ideas?

Cardboard1234reaction with SnCl2 and hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate gives a cleaner oil.
With Fe not so clear reaction

can I replace Toluene with other solvents like DCM or petroleum ether?

1. Is Fe crucial, or can another metal be used instead (like Zn, Mg or Al)? I've heard Zn/HCl also reduces P2NP to oxime.
2. Can sulfuric acid (of properly chosen amount and concentration) be used instead of hydrochloric? And, if it can't, why?
