Sodium Bicarbonate + Formic Acid = Success?
« on: March 26, 2003, 09:28:00 PM »
Has anyone considered neutralizing the remaining formic acid in the performic reaction using baking soda? I know that it is used as a buffer, but can't it neutralize acids also? Mabey a stupid question, but swim really hates vacuuming off formic.

you should have 2 layers, a layer with the DCM and other non polars and then one with the formic after the rxn...
no need to distill for formic acid.
but it would be possible to neutralize NaOH would give u Sodium Formate (I think)

Follow the "buffered performic"...

Follow the "buffered performic" procedure which means you never have to vacuum distill the formic acid.  UTSE and especially Labtops sticky thread about this
