Abstract
ON working up the mixture in order to isolate the products of reactions catalysed by anhydrous aluminium chloride, the first step is usually decomposition with an ice-acid mixture1. However, difficulties are often encountered in the separation of the aqueous phase containing the aluminium salts, due to the formation of stable emulsions. This makes the repeated washing of the organic phase necessary to ensure complete extraction of the aluminium salts, a rather tedious operation.
