Has anyone successfully attempted this?
I've tried it a few times with zero results.
It is theoretically possible.
I've tried both concentrated and dilute solution of KOH and NaOH under reflux(max. 30 min). The only change was the color.
I think the trick may be to reflux for a LONG time. I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has actually successfully pulled this off.
