1-Phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) synthesis from Diethyl(phenylacetyl)malonate

[G.Patton]

Do you understand your question? Do you mean simple distillation instead of vacuum one? You can, 216 deg C is boiling point at normal conditions.

Can this synthesis be up scaled please

 

[G.Patton]

Hello, yes, sure

 

[Pinkbay]

Is there any other way to isolate the phenylacetic acid besides putting it in the refrigerator? Will not separating affect my future work?

 

[William D.]

You can crystallize this in a cool place and filter after. In another case, you can distill the fractions. For the following steps, you cannot leave PPA.

Sir, how long does the PAA crystallization process take?
