“…The logarithmic values of Kex, β1, and β2 were 9.77 ± 0.08, 12.60 ± 0.16, and 23.11 ± 0.09, respectively. The extraction constant obtained in heptane was close to that reported in chloroform, log Kex = 9.9 at I = 1 M in the literature, 5 although the formation of dihydroxytropylium of Hipt was not considered at all. The formation constant, log β1, has also been reported to be 13.0 in the same literature, which is comparable with the present value.…”
