Well hexane and chloroform are both extremely nonpolar, is there an advantage over those?

I've seen in the best quality instructions I could find TsOH being used for isomerization.

The expense I was referring to was for the rotovap and Soxhlet extractor. The column chromatrgraphy setup doesn't look *that* cheap, but the cheapest of the set. If I found it all used I think I'm lookin at $800 minimum. I think it's worth it though. I don't like working with crude home-setup approximations when you're dealing with chemistry - especially when the product is going into your body.

Do you have any experience using any of this equipment or procedures for the purpose of making honey oil?
