Hi everyone, I'm trying to separate the water from my crude product. I have tried to increase the pH a bit but to no avail. Workup of my crude product was also futile as my crude continued to end up in the water layer. ( I tried different solvents: hexane, EtOAc, DCM, Chloroform) but no point as the product ends up in the water layer. Vacuuming takes long time. I don't have a freeze-dryer in my lab.
