Why brine solution is used in organic chemistry extraction?

Brine solution is used in organic chemistry extraction to create a biphasic system where the organic compound of interest is selectively extracted into the organic phase while leaving impurities in the aqueous phase. The high ionic strength of the brine solution helps break emulsions and improve the partitioning of the organic compound into the organic phase. Additionally, the brine solution helps to remove any water-soluble impurities that may be present in the organic layer.
