PAL (All capital letters) means PhenylAcetaLdehyde (Phenylacetaldehyde). It's a precursor to P2Pol (Phenyl-2-Propanol) and Ethylamphetamine. You could either do a grignard reaction of PAL (Phenylacetaldehyde) with methylmagnesium iodide in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether) to create P2Pol (Phenyl-2-Propanol), or condense the PAL with ethylamine to create PAL ethylimine (Phenylacetaldehyde ethylimine), and do a grignard reaction with methylmagnesium iodide in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether) and do a hydrochloric acid work-up to create Ethylamphetamine. PAL might polymerize, but in air it can over-oxidize to PAA (PhenylAcetic Acid, Phenylacetic acid). PAL can also be used to synthesize Propylamphetamine and DEPEA (N,a-Diethylphenethylamine). DEPEA uses ethylmagnesium chloride.
Tony: I just synthesized Propylamphetamine by using PAL (Phenylacetaldehyde), doing a grignard reaction with methylmagnesium iodide to form P2Pol. Then oxidizing it using PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate) to P2P. Then I condensed it with Propylamine and reduced P2P Propylimine (Phenyl-2-Propanone Propylimine) in an ethanol hydrogen oxide (ethanol water) solution using Aluminum Galinstan to yield Propylamphetamine.
Acronym for Pinch A Loaf, meaning to have a bowel movement...to take a shit.
Dude, I was on a conference call this morning and I had to PAL so bad! I pal’d this morning and had great corn for texture, just like Ralph and Herbie!
Point and laugh. An Internet acronym used in the early days of Runescape 2.
Check out that noob wearing full bronze! PAL!!
