ZnCl2 efficiency
« on: May 31, 2014, 02:03:59 PM »
dear friends
I have some ZnCl2 powder to catalyze benzophenone synthesis I'm not sure my ZnCl2 is  efficient enough or I should buy new ZnCl2 powder?
is there any procedure to determine it?
thanks for your help

You're worried about it not being fresh enough?  Hard to see how it could be a problem, I don't expect it to break down into anything else.  Still, you might want to dry it scrupulously, if its old.  The best test would be to start with a small scale reaction first.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
