That
summer_childThat's a great tip! Dimethyl sulphate is also very very nasty and not really something I'd like to whip up in my home lab. Oxalate is much preferred. Doug made some in his lab, see youtube link.
But how's the stochiometry? How much is needed to replace the sulphate?
You would need a large excess of MeI. Dimethyloxalate could be a replacement as it is much safer than DMS and MeI and easily accessible to a home chemist.
