Why is Biphenyl Soluble in Hexane?

Biphenyl is soluble in hexane because they both share similar nonpolar properties. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, meaning it lacks dipole moments, while biphenyl is also nonpolar due to its symmetric molecular structure. This similarity in polarity allows biphenyl to dissolve in hexane.

How do eliminate biphenyl as a by product in a Grignard reaction?

Biphenyl will be dissolved in ether along with your desired product after Grignard synthesis. If you add an aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to this it will react with your desired product but not the biphenyl and form two layers of solution. One layer will be biphenyl dissovled in ether the other will be NaX (where X is your desired product, just with the Na attached to an oxygen rather than a H) dissolved in water. The latter solution can be separated with a separatory funnel; it will be the lower layer. To precipitate you product from its aqueous solution just cool it and add hydrochloric acid (HCl). There you have it, that's how to eliminate byphenyl from your desired product. Hope it helped.
