Re: Reduced oil temperature in reactor ?
Hello Tilly
Leaving this test aside, if your assertion is correct that drying the methoxide has little benefit to the reaction, how come commercial producers and a fair few home producers in the UK swear by using ASM (anhydrous sodium methoxide) rather than mixing their own methoxide using the much cheaper sodium hydroxide in crystal form?
