Does DMF dissolve in ethanol?
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone: We are currently carrying out an organic reaction in a three-necked flask, using DMF as the solvent. The product of the reaction is a solid substance, and we would like to remove the excess DMF using a simple method. Is it possible to add anhydrous ethanol and then heat the mixture, allowing the DMF to dissolve in the ethanol, followed by filtration to obtain the solid product and thus remove the excess DMF? I don’t want to recycle it anymore either. Therefore, complex processes such as distillation are not desired in order to reduce the overall cost of the process. Those who are familiar with solvent removal, please explain.
DMF is soluble in ethanol; it is recommended to wash away the DMF with water and then extract the product using methyl tert-butyl ether
DMF is soluble in ethanol, but I would like to ask whether your solid product is soluble in ethanol.
