Experiment 2: IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWNS BY TLC AND MP IN COMBINATION Introduction: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is one of the most valuable techniques in organic chemistry. This is a best method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that is stationary and one that is moving or mobile. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different

with acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ caffeine‚ salicyclamide‚ and reference. The second plate was spotted with Anacin‚ Bufferin‚ Excedrin‚ Tylenol‚ and reference. The development chamber was then brought to the hood where 0.05% glacial acetic acid in ethyl acetate was poured into the chamber. The first plate was placed in the chamber until the solvent was approximately 0.5cm from reaching the top. Once dry‚ the plate was placed under the UV light to observe the differences in the over-the-counter drugs.

Alyssa Caparelli Organic Chemistry 12A Professor Alston October 28‚ 2014 Isolation of Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Pigments from Spinach Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to isolate ß-carotene‚ chlorophyll-A‚ and chlorophyll-B from spinach using column chromatography. Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

rank the 3 compounds in order of decreasing polarity (this compound ranking can be based on structure as well as on these TLC results). Explain each of your rankings. Compounds: 9-fluorenone‚ 9-fluorenol. Fluorene Solvent: Ethyl acetate 10% in hexane‚ Ethyl acetate 25% in hexane‚ 100% hexane Polarity of each compound reacted differently to each of the solvents used. As we know‚ ‘like’ interacts with ‘like’. Fluorene has the least amount of polarity based on structure and when it was mixed

AIMS At the end of the experiment‚ students should be able to synthesise pure aspirin using chemical tests such as esterification and recrystallization independently and to also find out the melting point range of aspirin using melting point determination. INTRODUCTION Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is one of the commonly used and widely found in any drugstore or pharmacy. Its properties make aspirin a well-rounded drug that reduces inflammation and fever and also relieves

Second‚ each student has to identify the unknown components by comparing it to one of the tree dissolved liquid analgesics: Acetaminophen‚ Aspirin and Caffeine. Finally‚ calculating the Rf value by measuring

The stationary phase used was precoated silica gel 60F254.The mobile phase used was a mixture of Butyl acetate: Formic Acid: Distilled Water 14:5:5 (v/v). The detection of spots were carried out at 254 nm. This HPTLC method was validated statistically and recovery study was performed to confirm the accuracy of the method. It can be used for routine quality

are usually two per segment: one on each side. The spiracles often have some sort of valve that allows the insect to close off its ventilatory system- this is analogous to holding your breath. I’ve seen some insects stay lively in a jar full of ethyl acetate (the gas I use to knock them out) for an hour or longer! Inside of the spiracles are the tracheas‚ which branch out into smaller

Experiment 5B: Ketone Reduction Objective: Using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent‚ the ketone 4-tert-butylcyclohexane is reduced to its corresponding alcohol. It is purified through extraction techniques to give the cis and trans diasteromer products. Procedure: The procedure was followed as outlined in Mayo’s book for Experiment 5B with the following modifications: 1. Reagents and Equipment – The reaction will be on a scale of 2X what is described in the text. 2. Reagents and Equipment

Title: Esterification Objective: To synthesis acetylsalicylic acid by esterification. Introduction: A pleasant‚ often fruity‚ odor is characteristic of some of the simpler esters. Ethyl butyrate smells similar to pineapples‚ the odor of n-propyl acetate is reminiscent of pears and isopentyl acetate has a strong banana fragrance. Esters are derivatives of the carboxylic acids and contain the following functional group: The synthesis of an ester can be accomplished in one of several ways. An esterification
