If i want to make picric acid from asprin do i have to use alcohol to get the asprin from the pills? Cant i just use any other organic solvent like benzeen, or maybe gasoline?
If i cant, why not?

I dont think any oil based solvent would work very well at all. Besides, how clean is gasoline from the pump? I dont see why you dont use alcohol since it is quite cheap to buy and VERY readily available everywhere. AKA Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol. Which can be found ANYWHERE. Look in grocery stores and pharmacy's. It is very readily available.
