33. The folded oligocholate resembles a unimolecular reversed micelle. The most "folding-friendly" solvents are nonpolar ones mixed with a small amount of a polar solvent. Because the interior of a folded conformer prefers polar molecules, microphase separation of solvents happens during folding. MeOH is completely miscible with EA but barely miscible with hexane. Therefore, demixing should be easier in MeOH/hexane/EA than in MeOH/EA.
