Hello.
Please describe what do you mean by "wet"? What exactly did you do?
Basicly, its really impossible to tell which "path" you used. If we speak about starting reagent 2br4mp the solvent used doesnt matter, however each one has its pros and cons that need to be considered. Most of cases just aviability or situation mostly do matter.
If we speak about the crystalisation process which is separate from the synthesis it depends which solvent you use for cryslisation.
I think we have basicly 2 options. Using H2O or iso alcohol, we could use other aclohols as well, we could use the mixture of both solvents.
I think IPA alcohol is used when mistakes in the synthesis were done and its not possible to get nice looking product from crystalisation in the result.
in IPA alcohol they are like some kind of rocks on the errosion by air in the mountains or so, they are like powder, some discoloration can happen as well.
In water if product is good purity it grows big shards, usually needle type.
"wet" type I think occurs when its not "crystalisation" by the definition. Crystalisation is final purification process and gradual reduction of temperature gives the best results.
"brownish" color is probably when product is not pure and the person whop performed synthesis decided that he prefers to regt brown than get rid of more than 50% to get white, or even more.
Some words of the synthesis:
1st. plan everything correct
2ndly. use the clean eq
