Question
Reactions that are performed without these substances are termed “neat” and form a large body of research in green chemistry. Supercritical carbon dioxide can be used as one of these substances to create high-density microchips and purify caffeine. Lyophilizers and rotovaps are laboratory instruments used for removing these substances, common examples of which include dichloromethane and DMSO (“D-M-S-O”).
