Making Ether with Polyphosphoric Acid
Welcome to the second Fan Follow-Up Episode! In this, I test silica-supported polyphosphoric acid’s ability to condense alcohol into ether.
Testing Polyphosphoric Acid:
Polyphosphoric Acid is said to be a powerful dehydrating agent useful in many condensation reactions. I test this literature by implementing this catalyst in my ether synthesis.
