It was just for giggles and laughs, nothing seriously. I didn't purify it and certainly did not use it. There was probably a mild case of oxidation.
Sounds interesting. Give me the reference.
How do you know you were successful? Did you do MP or TLC at least?
The thing about home synthesis that is just scary is there are no real home-based analytical methods to see how much garbage is in your product. The closest you could come would be to run the most purified stuff through a silica column.. That alone is a real pain in the ass.
