I have seen, sometimes, that people tend to use sonicator in some reactions like here with PTSA (https://bbgate.com/en/threads/thc-synthesis-from-cbd-using-ultrasonic-bath.14423/) for “faster” reaction.
(Also don’t try that reaction, and don’t try this at home)
How much people tried to experiment with sonicator, and what are your thoughts on this?
Could help, could also really mess up your horn. Ultrasound itself already erodes horns as is, with acids present, it seems like you’d be going through horns quickly. Qsonica makes replaceable tips, so that could be good, but I also wonder about cations from the metal contaminating the reaction.
The only reagent that might make sense is phosforic all other mentioned reagents get Isomerize before you know
I mean ptsa 17 min
Alcl3 20 min
Hcl as fast as you can disperse the gas in solution +5 min
Pretty sure that on a molecular level there are heat spots due to sonication taking the molecule to D8 at least some
Borontriflouride might work in time reduction
As does Triisobutyl aluminium or any of it s cousins tiba,dibal, etc etc
Sounds like someone needs to engineer a sonic probe into a wiper instead of the pre existing shaft…
