Participants

Reaction Steps

In a suitable vessel, 32.8 g. of anhydrous sodium carbonate were dissolved in 500 ml. of deionized water. To this solution were added 100 g of 2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)propionic acid. The reaction mixture was agitated vigorously until all of the acid was in solution and reacted to form sodium 2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)propionate. The resulting reaction mixture was diluted to a total volume of 2 l with deionized water. The dilute propionate solution was transferred to a 4 liter beaker.
