nitrostyrene

I am a mere amateur in chemistry, so I was thinking about something: In my country, it is more likely to obtain nitromethane than nitroethane. Therefore, I tried to do the condensation of Henry with nitromethane, but unfortunately this condensation generates beta-nitrostyrene, which has this...

I am not sure if this merits its own thread, but outlined here is a common method for making 2c-b. Starting from the benzaldehyde and utilizing the NaBH4/ CuCl2 reduction+hydrogenation and finally bromination with N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS). A recent methodology with safer procedures and chems...

According to TLC on several samples of yellow crystals sold as P2NP there is a lot of completely or partially faked P2NP sold lately. Well it is just too easy, plain nitrostyrene made from Benzaldehyde and Nitromethane looks pretty much identical, smells identical and just does not produce Amph...

Well Howdy there folks! There’s a lot of info and conversations and loosely, reliable syntheses on many forums discussing using 2 particular reagents, but I need something objective. I’m looking for this “gold standard” synth everyone is having success with using Sodium Borohydride and...
