Hi I have a question on Sand Mayer process. Will I be done with the process leaving me with GBL only if I stop after Step 4 in the extraction part as it seems like everything after makes it into GHB?

Hi, If I understand you correctly, you want to get GBL by Sandmeyer Reaction. Yes, you can get it at 4th step.

sorry for being late to the party, but I have a similar question regarding this route.
1. Are we distilling GBL straight from the RM in step 1a? If so, is our GBL in an azeotrope with water? And how would that be possible if its soluble in non polar solvents?
2. If we just collect the product up to step 4 by extraction with DCM from RM (and perhaps by distillation like mentioned above) we should be able to turn it into whatever GHB salt we crave, right?
