Wife is running that today. I’m taking a break. Screwed my knee up yesterday so she’s taking over for the end result. I’ll ask her to post pics and vids.

Sorry we’ve been fairly busy here with our own production and generating reports from samples after hours. We do not use heptane internally in our synthesis work. We ordered some and I’ll let you know when it comes in and we will post the semisynthesis results.

If it doesn’t resolve into two phases, you could try adding a small squirt of methanol. Old O-chem trick that works maybe 75% of the time. But if it resolves on its own that is preferable of course.

On phosforic acid it s easiest to add only the same amount of brine as there is acid on the first was don t stir to fast yust a bit to let the brine catch the acid and drop it out
Then after this first wash you use your mass of water it avoids emulsions
