It is used to remove water from the organic layer. During the experiment some water gets into the organic layer because of the partial miscibility of the organic products in water. Saturated sodium chloride will pull the water from the organic layer following simple solute rules. Sat. NaCl wants to become more dilute and salts have a higher affinity for water than for organic solvents. Therefore removing the bulk of the water in the organic layer.
