Greetings from the Isle of Man. I haven't been involved with chemistry since high school 35 years ago. Been watching your very entertaining content for years now though and find it fascinating. Keep up the good work.
If you want to make absolutely sure you remove all traces of acids from your bromine, even HBr, you can add a small amount of anhydrous disodium sulfate or trisodium phosphate to it, before the distillation. That way, you'll make sodium bisulfate and/or disodium phosphate, which are entirely non-volatile, and absolutely cannot be carried over in your distillation. It's a little trick I used when I had to remove HCl from TiCl4 and VOCl3. ^^

Checking in from the west coast of Canada. I did high school chemistry in the 70's (no, not that kind, well maybe a bit) I really liked it but I chose a different path to follow with my career. Now 45 years later, here I am watching some guy on TH-cam. I honestly have no idea what you are talking about most of the time, well more like all of the time, but I still enjoy it.

Still i watch almost every video of you, just because I love the level of passion and this lazy genius attitude you bring in. Your skill of beeing entertaining is far from turning people in a yellow state. So yeah, thanks for entertaining me, spending my time with stuff I dont understand. Geat work.

I have no idea why I enjoy these videos. Part of it is that I have no idea if what's happening will work, so there is some anticipation. Also, I'm an Australian who also uses the measurement 'fucktonne' (Metric measurement, I don't know if the Imperials used 'Fucktons') and I can enjoy watching a video of a guy who speaks exactly the same way I do. A mixture of science and profanity (as all good science is).
I'm assuming the reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism (unless the dioxane does anything fucky with it - a quick google search hasn't told me much about the reactivity of the dioxane-bromine complex, so there's probably no major change to the mechanism). This sort of radical substitution will tend to primarily proceed through whichever intermediate is the most stable. Generally, radicals are more stable in highly substituted positions due to an overlap of the radical electron orbital with neighboring σ* antibonding Orbitals (this is formally called hyperconjugation). Therefore, a radical will be more stable when it's right next to the fully substituted carbon rather than on the opposite side of the ring, hence radical bromination will prefer substituting this position. Depending on how high the energy difference between the two transition states is, the reaction is either going to proceed cleanly (if there's a high transition state energy difference) or it's going to be a mess and require really tight temperature control / a selective catalyst (maybe dioxane does that, idk). I'd be more worried about not being able to selectively get 3 bromines on, because if the product is contaminated with significant amounts of mono-, di- or tetrasubstituted bromoacetal it's going to be a nightmare to isolate the product from that mixture (if not impossible without good chromatographic methods). Just using the impure stuff would fuck with subsequent reactions, as the following Diels-Alder step and the final closing reaction need bromine in the right position.
Just stumbled across an australian product called the penguin dry ice maker. It is basically a bag you hook up to a Co2 cylinder to make dry ice on demand. Depending on the closest place to you where you can refill co2 cylinders (usually a drinks supplier will fill them up for beer carbonation etc. around here it is about 20$ per 10kg of co2) this might be a way for you to get easier acess to efficient low-temperature cooling in the future. If you do get a co2-tank, get yourself one with a dip-tube and save yourself a lot of trouble. If you ever need gas phase co2 you can simply refill a sodastream cartridge (can be had for very cheap) and hook up a pressure reducer to that. The necessary equipment for that can be had at kegland in Australia
Quick tip about putting label tape on containers: If you fold over a small piece of the tape to form a little tab, removing the tape becomes a much easier process later.
Love your channel and can't wait to see nice fat cubane structure being made! Sorry to hear about your azeotrope blunder. I made dry dioxane several years ago learned about its miscibility with water hard way. Potassium hydroxide works really well. After multiple treatments with solid KOH it is already reasonably dry and peroxide free. You can go for Na when it stops forming dirty alkaline aqueous layer at the bottom. It takes around 24 h of reflux over sodium to remove the last traces of water. Hope it helps and you will be able to recover all the solvent in this jar.

with the reaction, how do you control where the bromine attaches onto the molecule? and dose it matter?
