      MM Wacker Scaleup, is it feasible?

Read in a past post someone said the methanol wacker doesn't work well when scaled up?? Why not? What if it was scaled up 2x or 2.5x in a 5L flask? Don't want to waste 400g precursor oil so speak now or forever hold your peace tongue It would be great to be able to produce 250g ketone in one big batch

The working man is a sucker

      Do you want to try this?

It's bigger than the 250g, by about ten times! but you might have to get some new equipment and chemicals.

      Which Wacker?

The benzo wacker works fine on a large scale when used with methanol. Mutli kilo batches are not a problem.

On the other hand, I have found methanol in the 02 Wacker to never work, producing some kind of fucked up anti freeze substance that won't aminate.

DMF is the preferred substance for the 02 wacker and to the best of my knowledge, is quite scaleable.

      More than that!

I've had no problem with multi kilo dreams of the benzo wacker, without any significant decrease in yield. A five gallon vessel with a 45/50 3' reflux condenser works great.

      scale up and distillation..

On larger scale benzo's would you then distill the crude MDP2P in batches?

Would trying to distill 500ml's at a time increase the amount of polymerization happening? Does the Aldol reaction come into play here?

And regarding the washes, how critical is it for the last washes to be dH2O to remove all traces of base/acid to limit polymerization?

What would be the optimal batch size for distillation given good 24/40 glassware and a vacuum of about 1.5 torr?
