36. Even scratches on the glass or a polished surface of a joint could promote this side reaction, so very smooth glassware or a plastic flask is recommended to minimize the by-product formation. For the same reason, it is difficult to use TLC to monitor the reaction (excessive colorization occurs when the reaction solution is put on a silica gel or alumina TLC plate).
