Hi,
I used oxalic acid to remove a ketal in a synthesis of (beta)cedrene. The only thing i could get it to dissolve in was water or methanol.
Im not sure if you will be able to extract oxalic into a chlorinated dry cleaning solvent.
Maybe worth a shot, but i dont think it will dissolve. BTW oxalic isnt a nice reagent, it causes renal failure and attacks your CNS, so be careful with it.
Formic acid is a bit more soluble and migh be a better reagent to hit blood with in this case, but im not certain.
As to acid/acid reaction
. Chemically speaking i think its unlikely, but dont quote me on that.
Hope this helps
Graeme
