Too much GAA use maybe 1.6lish
Hydrolysis is too long in my exp
1.25eq base and 2hrs worked best for me
you didnt get 50% peroxide and attempt this

will d scale up no testing time again
Purification via methylphenylbutanones bisulfite adduct is so much superior (same with p2p) both for not having to make chloroforms sake and end purity
huge excess of mek? Intentional? also amino acids r a better cat than hcl for the aldol and id use perborate for the villiger as thats higher yielding in my exp than H2O2. Percarbonate is less good getting maybe 35% but much easier and not watched at all
