I have been searching for information about have much sodium hydroxide you will add to have much diethyl ether but in vain, in my search I fell over this:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jo01090a636But first thing first anyone have any experience with ether storage and how much NaOH/KOH or whatever you use compared to have must ether?
And now in addition to the article, well how i get it 20 ml of ether is run through a column containing 4g of dowex 1 in the hydroxyl form.
I seem to remember previously reading about something like this before.
As i recall a solution of 5% NaOH and Water is run through dowex 1 and in doing so prepares it in the hydroxyl form is that true and if so have much resin compared to the solution.
Any answers is greatly appreciated
