Do the results flex!

So, I purified my product!

It came to me in a dream...almost. The other day, in those hazy hours just before becoming completely conscious, I had an idea for how to get the diphenylamine out of my product - a fly-over bridge, heating it under vacuum! I was able to sublime the amine away, and clean it out of my product.

I ran NMR this afternoon, and my product in about 85% pure! Much better than the mostly unpure product I had before.

Cheers!
