Aluminum Palladium Galinstan amalgam or Al/Pd/GaInSn is something that can be used for an alternative to toxic Aluminum Mercury amalgam for reductive amination. Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone and Methylamine in Ethanol in a Carbon Dioxide inert atmosphere can be reduced to Propylhexedrine (Cyclohexyl-2-AminoPropane) and filter
90% of the Aluminum Hydroxide Al(OH)3 Ethanol
water Propylhexedrine solution through a Buchner funnel with Zeolite careful not to spill over Palladium Galinstan amalgam, then add everclear to the remaining 10% in the round
bottom flask, then filter 90% and you got 99% of Propylhexedrine ethanol
water solution. Dry with Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate, filter through Buchner funnel, pour in a beaker, then
bubble dry HCl
gas through the Propylhexedrine freebase to acid
salt (Acid Salting) the Propylhexedrine into Propylhexedrine HCl
salt. Palladium Galinstan is reusable for Aluminum Palladium Galinstan amalgam reductive amination. Temperature 20°C to 30°C and reaction time 24 hours. Al/Pd/GaInSn .
Tony: I put 100g Galinstan (69g Gallium + 21g Indium + 10g
Tin) and 50mg Palladium
shot in a crucible and added 100g Aluminum foil to
make Aluminum Palladium Galinstan amalgam. I used Aluminum Palladium Galinstan amalgam to do reductive amination on Cyclohexyl-2-Propanone Methylimine in ethanol in a Carbon Dioxide inert atmosphere to make Propylhexedrine. Then
bubble HCl for Propylhexedrine HCl and clean it with Anhydrous Acetone to get rid of excess HCl. Temperature 20°C to 30°C and reaction time 24 hours.
