Aluminum galinstan Al/GaInSn is an amalgam of aluminum and galinstan used for reductive amination. It's a useful and non-toxic alternative to aluminum mercury Al/Hg.
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.
Galinstan is a non-toxic, liquid metal alloy which melts at 11 °C (52 °F). It's made by combining gallium, indium, and tin. It's fun to play with and also do science experiments with. It's liquid metal you can hold in your hand. It's good to wear gloves while handling Galinstan. Galinstan stains hands and stuff, but you can wash it out with soap and water.
Aluminum Galinstan (Al/GaInSn) is when a non-toxic amalgam of Aluminum and Galinstan. 95% Aluminum and 5% Galinstan (Gallium Indium Tin alloy). It's used for reductions and reductive amination.
I reacted ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone (TP2P) with freebase methylamine in ethanol distilled water solution and reduced it to Methiopropamine (MPA) using aluminum galinstan (Al/GaInSn).
I reduced diphenylmethanone into diphenylmethanol using Aluminum Galinstan.
{gabe'-ist}
One who follows in the teachings of Gabism. The primary philosophical doctrine of a Gabist is the eternal mystery of "What is fudge?" The first of these enlightened folk was GabrielAlexander Benjamin Long, who founded this religion in 2014.
Once a man walked into a room. He looked at everyone in the room and found a man, a Blacksican to be specific. He sat beside the man, and the man was scratching his head. In front of him was a piece of paper. All over, it said, "What is Fudge?" I asked him what this was all about. He stood up, and ripped his shirt off! He pounded his chest in Tarzan style! He let out a mighty grunt! He started reiterating, "Bad! Bad! Bad!" Immediately, everyone in the room received an epiphany! They all went to the fudge store and bought fudge! They later went on to become gabists, preaching the teachings of GabrielAlexander Benjamin Long, as the found his name to be.
