Stirrer magnetic

A magnetic stirrer is also recommended for semi-micro work. A small bar of glass-covered steelf is placed in the liquid contained... 

When the curvature of the reaction vessel is too great for the efficient operation of the bar type magnetic stirrer, a miniature solenoid-operated reciprocating stirrer may be employed (Fig. XII, 2, 19). This stirrer may be easilj constructed from a telephone relay or electric bell. It is advisable to have a control for adjusting the stroke while running.

The above reagents (ok the safrole and H2O aren t reagent) are weighed or measured accordingly. The flask is securely clamped into place on the magnetic stirrer. Add the DMF and H2O. Start stirring, and then slowly add the palladium chloride and cuprous chloride. If you add the powders first then the liquids you ll have problems with the stir bar finding a place to spin. 

In a lOOmL round-bottomed flask fitted with a magnetic stirrer is placed a mixture of palladium (II) chloride (89mg, O.Smmol), p-benzoquinone (5.94g, 55mmol) and 7 1 dimethylformamide/water (20mL). To the solution, t-decene [substitute safrole for this compound) (7.0g, 50mmc4) is added in 10 min and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 7h. The solution is poured into cold 3 normal hydrochloric acid (lOOmL) and extracted with 5 portions of ether. The extracts are combined and washed with three portions of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and a portion of brine, and then dried After removal of the solvent, the residue is distilled to give 2-decanone [P2P] yield 6.1g (78%). 

The use of a magnetic stirrer is not advisable since the formation of the gum-like dianion prevents efficient stirring. A mechanical stirrer with a ground-glass shaft bearing lubricated with mineral oil Is recommended.
