Please excuse my chemical terms in english. I was wondering if you could clear a couple of things I had mixed up: Greases/oils (are they called fatty acid esters in english?) (CH2OCOR-CHOCOR«-CH2OCOR) and methanol (CH3OH) form Glicerol and BD (3 RCOOR)... right? Now this reaction needs

Thanks Keith. Though I must clear out something... I was talking of HCl, Hydrochloric acid, not Nitric Acid (HNO3), which I do understand is a main chemical in the synthesis of various explosives (a friend of a close friend of mine did pass away in a lab explosion some years ago). The reference

Dear Bryan, I got a bit mixed up with the water... ÀWhich reaction produces it? If this is an equilibrium reaction, Àcan«t you turn it towards the products side by adding more meth? Best, Christian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
