Can chloroform be washed free of acetone with water?

The trick to this reaction is to use an excess of sodium hypochlorite and mix it several times so that all of the acetone is consumed. The resulting Chloroform sinks and separates easily from the water layer. Chloroform is only poorly soluble in hot water so you'll be able to wash it with hot water to clean it up. read more

The combined filtrates are distilled, unchanged chloroform and acetone are recovered, and the fraction passing over between 165° C and 172° C is collected separately. The distillate is poured in water, crystallisation sets in, and when this is complete the solid is filtered off and recrystallized from a mixture of alcohol and water. read more

Re: LeJunk's Cocaine Purification Technique I did the anhydrous acetone cleaning on 1.3g of his weekend 2g and left it chopped up in a room with the a/c running to dry it. He did the first .7g of the usual and knows what that was like and he is looking forward to trying the "cleaner" g in a few days as he's not in the mood for it just yet. read more
