  Well…I have tried one synthesis but there are several parts to it. The reaction itself and then the extraction and purification part, then the analyzing part. If the analyzing part shows it didn’t work how I expected it to then I start again but change the the reaction part or change the extraction and purification parts…they all have an effect so you have to tweak all of them to get the best results.
