Dear All,
Anhydrous potassium carbonate (an. K2CO3) loaded into a Pasteur pipette as
described by Thomas and others, also works well & used routinely in our lab
to remove traces of acid from CDCl3 by filtration; note that we then use it
immediately for solution prep avoiding storage & further decomposition of
the CDCl3.

Basic alumina also works, and also gets rid of traces of water. I like to use
a small plug of cotton wool and push that into place with the end of a second
Pasteur pipette. Dusty samples can be filtered through a plug of Celi te.

Dear all,
A faster way to deal with traces of acid is plug a Pasteur pipette with some
tissue (can be packed fairly tight for CDCl3) and then add some Na2CO3
(0.5-1 cm is usually sufficient) and then allow the CDCl3 solution to percolate
through directly into the NMR tube. The residual amount of non-absorbed CDCl3
solution retained in the Na2CO3 bed and tissue can be pushed through by
applying some gentle pressure with a pipette bulb (hence it helps to have
the tissue packed in nice and tight to retain the Na2CO3), or simply use
more CDCl3.
Regards,
Karel

Hello,
that’s no direct answer concerning your question.
If you have really sensitive samples, the best way is to add a tiny amount
silver oxide directly into the NMR tube.
You might be interested to check out the effect.
Take CDCl3 as a solvent and add a drop of methanol. You should see two singlets,
one for the methyl, one for
The OH group. Now add a few micrograms of silver oxide. You have to shake it a
rather long time. Long time means
At least one hour. An ultrasonic bath should do the job.
Insert the sample immediately into the spectrometer to keep light away and
wait a few minutes to allow the silver
Oxide to move to the bottom of the tube.
And then measure again. You should see the expected doublet for the
Methyl and a quartet for the OH group.
Greetings
Rainer
