Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.
The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.
- Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
- Add a boiling stone.
- Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
- Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
- Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
- Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
- When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).
