How to remove diglyme?
« on: December 01, 2010, 01:43:24 PM »
My reaction will be taking place in diglyme since it has a high boiling point however I need to find a way to obtain the product after the reaction has finished by removing the diglyme. I can't use a rot evap since too high of a temp is required so any other ideas? Thanks

Extract your product with heptane (will be the best solvent, however, if your compound is not miscible you can use ether) and wash the organic layer several times with water. This will remove the diglyme.
