My experiment converted Benzoic acid to methyl benzoate using methanol but after adding sodiumbicarb. ether, I am not quite sure what is in where.
Is there methanol or ethanol in the ether layer? since I've read that sodium Carbonate (not bicarb) will not be soluble in ethanol would this mean that ethanol must be in the ether layer?
and what else would be in the bicarb layer?
thanks
