Purification Methods

If it is discoloured shake it with saturated aqueous NaCl, extract it with Et2O, dry the extract (MgSO4), filter, evaporate and distil the residue preferably under a vacuum. The lachrymatory acid chloride has M 114.1, m 4o and b 216o/atm, d4 1.091, nD 1.4620. [Beilstein 9 H 6, 9 IV 11.]
