• Abstract:

  Background

  Water content in organic solvents used for chemical synthesis frequently influences the reaction outcome and yield. Water content in solvents is usually determined using Karl Fischer titration and azeotropic distillation.¹

  Methods

  A method developed by Bai and Yang¹ to determine the water content in alcohol-based solvents was adapted to
