Procedure

A mixture of water (10.0061 g) and benzyl formate (E, 10.7949 g) was in each case introduced into a thermostated glass vessel and stirred at 20.0 (±0.2)° C. In each case, a small amount of formic acid was added to this mixture. After vigorous mixing, the stirrer was stopped and phase separation was awaited. Samples were in each case taken from the water phase and the benzyl formate phase and their formic acid content analyzed. The values determined are given in Table 5.
