compound Butyl 2-Cyano-(3‚5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate and its copolymer with styrene was prepared in this lab. The base catalyzed Knoevengael condensation of butyl cyanoacetate and corresponding aldehyde led to the forming Butyl 2-Cyano-(3‚5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate. The analyses that were used to prove its composition and structure include; IR spectroscopy‚ thin layer chromatography (TLC)‚ and CHN analysis. A radical copolymerization reaction was conducted‚ with the initiation by radical initiator

CODEINE AND PARACETAMOLPRACTICAL REPORT ON THE ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF CODEINE AND PARACETAMOL AIM: To extract codeine and paracetamol from its tablet by solvent extraction and tentatively identify in comparison to standards using Thin Layer Chromatography. INTRODUCTION: Codeine or methyl morphine‚ an alkaloid‚ was first isolated in 1832 from raw opium. It concentration ranges from 0.2% to 0.8%. Mostly used for its analgesic‚ anti-tussive and anti-diarrheal capabilities (Tremlett‚ Anderson

To: Wesley Clark From: Lizzie Heath Date: March 4‚ 2013 Subject: Thin-Layer Chromatographic Analysis of Drug Components (Experiment #15) The purpose of this experiment is to determine the components of an unknown drug and identify it as one of six (6) commercial drugs by using thin-layer chromatography. I added approximately a quarter of a tablet of acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ caffeine‚ ibuprofen‚ salicylamide‚ and the unknown (#19) to separate test tubes containing 2.5mL of dichloromethane

pure crystal constituents of the compound. Thin layer chromatography can be used as a physical method to segregate compounds from natural sources. E.g. Spinach leaves are visibly green‚ but consist of a variety of components that have more colour than others. This experimental procedure uses compounds from spinach leaves that are exposed to chromatography‚ TLC plate to indicate the different pigments within the spinach extract. ‘Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual

were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part of the experiment dealt with breaking down the spinach leaves in a mortar and pestle. Acetone was added to this to help with the breakdown of the spinach leaves. Once the spinach leaves were broke down enough

Results and discussion Isolation of beta carotene and chlorophylls by column chromatography Upon the loading of S1 (the extract of the plant leaves in hexane)‚ a yellow band appeared at the top part of the silica column immediately after the solvent level descended to just above the sand layer. This yellow band later developed to about 2 centimetres

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon

Post lab Questions 1. 3-decanone will have a higher Rf value than 3-decanol‚ toluene will have a higher Rf value than benzoic acid‚ and cyclooctane will have a higher Rf value than cycloctanone. This is because they are not as polar as the compounds with lower Rf values‚ the compounds that are most polar tend to stay longer with the polar adsorbent‚ while the least polar compound travels with the eluent that is lower in polarity. 2. TLC in today’s experiment stands for Thin Layer Chromatography

nature of agarose‚ a solution of agarose can be heated and cooled to form a gel in a casting tray. Think of casting the agarose gel like pouring hot gelatin into a mold. The hot agarose liquid is poured into a casting tray. Once the mixture cools‚ a thin agarose brick will form. To ensure there’s a place to put the DNA in the gel‚ a comb is placed in the agarose liquid before it cools. Each tooth in the comb will become a hole‚ or ’well‚’ in the solidified agarose gel. Once cast‚ this gel is placed
