If I have a mixture of benzoic acid and benzil, and I add dichloromethane to it and extract it using sodium hydroxide, the benzoic acid reacts with the sodium hydroxide to form sodium benzoate, but what does the benzil react with. I know that its in the organic layer because it's neutral but does it react with the dichloromethane? and is there a mechanism for it?
Any help is appreciated.
