Organic synthesis (refluxing solvent)
« on: June 06, 2012, 10:23:08 AM »
After the reaction, the burgundy solid is washed with refluxing ethyl acetate and refluxing acetone... What does it mean by refluxing ethyl acetate and refluxing acetone? The above is derived from a literature, please assist me :)
