Hi,
I was reading the following implementation of the iodine clock reaction:
http://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakultaeten/nat_Fak_IV/Organisc...
and noticed that they added ethanol to the reaction. What is the purpose of this addition, in the overall reaction Ethanol doesn't seem to play a
role. Does anyone know the reason behind their addition of EtOH ?
Thanks

Maybe as a solvant for the I2 and so to increase the color...?
