SWIM was told that piperidine can be substituted w/ pyrrolidine, which is found in a certain paintbrush cleaner.

How would SWIM extract the solution so that he is only left w/ pyrrolidine as not to include impurities(toxins) into the final batch?

okay, i can probably help you if in know what kind of synthesis is going on. i don't know anything about making wet, but i am about to have a degree in chemistry. if i can understand exactly what your trying to do i can let you know if it can be replaced, or at least make an attempt to give helpful feedback. i'm only doing this because i noticed 4 bumps and no help (i'm not experienced with actual manufacturing).

basically give me the reaction.

x + y = a + b

and i'll figure out if it can be substituted

piperidine + cyclohexanone w/ KCN(nitrile intermediate) = (pyrrolidine + x) + cyclohexanone reacted using KCN nitrile intermediate

Both (should) become PCC after an 18 hr reaction.

from what i understand (or think i understand), you want to react pyrrolidine with cyclohexanone instead of piperidine to get PCC. as far as i understand if you react pyrrolidine you will not get PCC. pyrrolidine in a 5 carbon ring and piperidine is a 6 carbon ring (the latter is what you need for PCC). unless somehow you plan to convert the pyrrolidine to piperdine by adding a carbon to the ring you will be disappointed with the results.

also, i am just curious how you plan to get the benzene ring into the pcc structure (the next reaction).

let me know if i misunderstood anything, and i apologize if i have stated anything you already know.
