What would happen if water was added to a reaction mixture before letting it cool
3 answers
It would help if we knew what was being added to what. And what is the solvent in the reaction mixture.
The water is being added to benzhydrol, propanol and sulfuric acid which is the catalyst in a separatory funnel after the reaction mixture is heated at refulx for 25 minutes. It is an SN2 reaction so the solvent is THF
I was wrong. It doesn't help.
