I heated galinstan and aluminum and stirred to
make aluminum galinstan.
I reduced phenyl-2-butanone (or P-2-Bu), and ammonia in ethanol solution using aluminum galinstan and then filtered to make phenylisobutylamine, and dried it with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Then reacted the phenylisobutylamine ethanol solution with hydrogen chloride
gas to make phenylisobutylamine HCl. The
liquid galinstan was recoverable and reusable.
