The procedure generally involves the following steps:
Mix the reaction mixture with an aqueous solution of a base such as NaOH or KOH. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure complete interaction between the base and the acidic impurities. Separate the aqueous layer containing the neutralized acidic impurities. Wash the organic layer with water to remove any residual base. Dry the organic phase and proceed with further purification steps if needed.
