Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most benign solvent that is required to heat an organic reaction at 110°C should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Solvents play an essential role in chemical processes not only to put reactants in contact with dissolution but also sometimes cause hazardous explosions. The chemical reactions or processes can be improved done by replacement of the hazardous solvent with benign solvent. Benign solvents are safer solvents and less hazardous for the environment.
