Any ideas on how to prevent Stearic acid from pyrolysis and forming burnt rubber smell, in heating to 220C under vacuum with nitrogen??
Any Ideas to the compounds being formed that give it this distinct odor? (I'm assuming low molecular weight hydrocarbons)
Odor prevention in this reaction?
i would strongly suggest to better the vacuum so that you can reduce the temperature. otherwise, try argon instead of nitrogen, but at this temp, i doubt it will help.
your side reactions could be anything from decarboxylation to polymerisation (probably both)
