E N D
Nitration Reaction • Isolation of crude product • Recrystallization: First and Second Crop • Impure minor product
Chromatography • Review main purpose, strengths, weaknesses: • Gas Chromatography • Thin Layer Chromatography • Why another technique?
Column Chromatography • Similar to TLC in separation • Preparative process • 0.1g to 5 g scale • Purify small quantities of liquids/solids (contrast distillation and recrystallization)
Mobile phase: eluent similar to TLC • Stationary phase: silica gel similar to TLC • Column is upside down from TLC, so a larger Rf for a compound means it comes out ____
Practical Considerations • Preparing the column • Loading the sample • Choosing the solvent • Separation capacity
Practical Considerations • Preparing the column • Loading the sample • Choosing the solvent • Separation capacity
Practical Considerations • Preparing the column • Loading the sample • Choosing the solvent • Separation capacity Most common: Hexane/ethyl acetate CH2Cl2/methanol
Practical Considerations • Preparing the column • Loading the sample • Choosing the solvent • Separation capacity • Effect of diameter • Effect of length • Effect of Silica gel grade
Flash Chromatography • Faster separation • Tighter separations
Review of Techniques • Purification • Extraction • Recrystallization • Distillation • Column chromatography • Purity analysis • Elemental analysis • Mp, bp • GC • TLC • Proton NMR • Identification • MS • IR • NMR • mp, bp • GC • TLC • JOC requires • IDENTITY: 1H NMR and 13C NMR plus either HRMS or EA • PURITY: 1H NMR or EA or GC or HPLC
