the melting point which I found for benzoic acid is 126-129 C,

ethyl-4- aminobenzoate : 89-92 C

9-flourene : 49-51 C

and for the mix of crude is 59-71 C

some information about Discussion:

Discussion: The purpose of the discussion is to interpret andcompare the results. For this section, list all the importantfactual information that you obtain from the experiment and thendiscuss these factual results. For example, report the experimentalmelting point, % recovery or % yield, etc and then compare thiswith the literature value and derive a conclusion from this result.For some of the experiments, your instructor might indicate a focusof the discussions.

You will have a mixture of three compounds where the two major components (>20%) will be a neutral and EITHER an acid or a base. The third minor component (<10%) is another neutral compound. You will be required to find the original mass percent of your mixture (A%, B%, C%) and identify the two major components. The possible compounds are listed below (and yes, you should provide safety and disposal info for all of them in your pre-lab). Additional reagents, solvents, etc. will be supplied as described in the book. If you think one of your unknowns is a base, it is strongly suggested that you isolate/purify that compound during the first week.

Benzoic acid

Benzoin

1,4-dibromobenzene

Fluorene

o-Toluic acid

4-aminoacetophenone

4-chloroaniline

phenanthrene

I have the choice of using these techniques: Solubility, TLC, extraction, distillation,

Crystallization, Filtration

and MP, dehydration of 4-cyclohexanol. Which do I use? I know I can't use distillation for a fact.

I'm currently taking ochem part 2. I need to perform an acid-base extraction to separate out a mixture of solid organic compounds consisting of 50% 2-chlorobenzoic acid; 40% methyl 4-aminobenzoate; 10% 1,4-dibromobenzene. I need to create a procedure to first separate the compounds. I also need to recrystallize each compound after separating the compounds; therefore, I need to know which solvent to use for each compound. I also need to prove that I separated my compounds successfully using TLC (therefore I need to know which solvent to use for TLC). I need to do this as a micro-scale procedure (therefore, I will not be given large quantities of reagants). I'm given the reagants methanol, ethanol, methylene chloride, hexane, 1M NaOH, 6M NaOH, 1M HCl, 6M HCl, Anhydrous sodium sulfate, saturated sodium chloride, acetone, sodium bicarbonate, diethyl ether. I believe we will be given about 2 grams of the solid organic compound mixture.

Note: I want to run this acid-based extraction without using the separation funnel. Can I use a centrifuge tube instead?

I have a rough procedure of how to carry out the acid-base extraction that I've posted below, please look over my rough procedure of the acid-based extraction portion and tell me if the amounts of reagants look okay and if the process is okay. I also have accompanied this with a couple of follow up questions in regards to the acid-based extraction, recrystallization, and running the TLC all accompanied with subheadings.

OFFICIAL PROCEDURE:

Put 0.090g of solid organic mixture into a large test tube. Add 0.5 mL of diethyl ether at a time and stir until all dissolves. If needed, slowly add more diethyl ether solvent. Use minimal solvent.

Extracting methyl 4-aminobenzoate

1. Add this mixture in large test tube into a glass centrifuge tube (labeled âworking reactionâ).

2. Add 1mL 1.0 M HCl to the centrifuge tube. Shake gently and vent. Do this until layers separate. If needed, centrifuge.

Diethyl ether density: 0.713 g/cm3

Waterâs density: 1.00g/cm3 (aqueous layer)

Because diethyl ether has a lower density, it will be on the top layer and consist of the 1,4-dibromobenzene and the 2-chlorobenzoic acid. The bottom aqueous layer will consist of the conjugate acid of the organic base, methyl 4-aminobenzoate because H3O+ protonates the amine of the base to produce an ammonium salt, which is ionic and therefore aqueous in solution. (DRAW THIS OUT)

3. Extract out lower aqueous layer (consisting of the conjugate acid i.e. the ammonium salt, of methyl 4-aminobenzoate) into labeled test tube (ammonium salt).

Note: It is okay to extract a little more out from the bottom bleeding into the organic layer; throw that into the waste to ensure that all that is left are the other 2 organic compounds in diethyl ether. Parafilm.

4. Into the test tube with the ammonium salt, add 6.0 M NaOH DROP BY DROP until the solution returns to become BASIC, this has reproduced the organic base, methyl 4-aminobenzoate. Check with pH paper.

5. Collect the crude methyl 4-aminobenzoate precipitate by filtration using Buchner funnel.

6. Recrystallize from HOT WATER.

6. Filter the pure methyl 4-aminobenzoate precipitate by filtration using Buchner funnel.

Extracting 2-chlorobenzoic acid

1. The âworking reactionâ centrifuge tube now consists of the solvent (diethyl ether), 1,4-dibromobenzene, and 2-chlorobenzoic acid. Add 1 mL of 1.0 M NaOH. Shake and vent. Centrifuge if necessary. Again, as before, the lower layer is aqueous and the top layer is the organic layer (diethyl ether + 1,4-dibromobenzene)

NOTE: B/c NaOH was added, the 2-chlorobenzoic acid was deprotonated to yield a sodium salt, which produced its conjugate base. The salt is ionic and therefore soluble in water.

2. Extract out the bottom layer with Pasteur pipette (contains conjugate base of 2-chlorobenzoic acid) into test tube labeled sodium salt.

Note: It is okay to extract a little more out from the bottom bleeding into organic layer; throw that out into the waste to ensure that all that is left is 1,4-dibromobenzene in diethyl ether. Parafilm.

3. Into the test tube with the sodium salt, add 6.0 M HCl DROP BY DROP until the solution returns to become ACIDIC. This has now reproduced the organic acid, 2-chlorobenzoic acid.

4. Recrystallize with what solvent?

Extracting 1,4-dibromobenzene

1. The âworking reactionâ centrifuge tube should now only contain diethyl ether, 1,4-dibromobenzene with some potential water. Add sodium sulfate to dry out the remaining water. Extract the solution (leaving behind the sodium sulfate ppt) into a test tube labeled 1,4-dibromobenzene.

2. Place the test tube labeled â1,4-dibromobenzeneâ in a hot water bath and boil to that of the solvent (diethyl ether) at 40C.

3. Diethyl ether has a low boiling point of 34.6 C whereas 1,4-dibromobenzene has a high boiling point of 220.4C.

4. Therefore, the remaining organic layer in the âworking reactionâ centrifuge tube now only containing 1,4-dibromobenzene and diethyl ether can be separated by evaporating diethyl ether.

5. Recrystalize with what solvent?

Acid-Based Extraction Questions:

Q1: Is diethyl ether a good solvent for initially dissolving all three solvents for the acid-base extraction? And if so, how much solvent do I need to add? I thought minimal enough to dissolve the organic comopunds?

Q2: Are my rough amounts of reagants used correctly for the acid-base extraction?

Q3: Should I add anhydrous sodium sulfate to my last step of acid-base extraction which consists of the diethyl ether and 1,40-dibromobenzene because there might be some aqueous layer left?

Q4: Can I perform my acid-base extractions with a centrifuge tube instead of a separation funnel?

Q5: Should I start off with more grams of my organic mixture when I begin? Is 0.090 grams too small?

Recrystallization Question

Q6: Which solvents for each isolated crude compound should I use for recrystallization? Do I need to run a test for a suitable solvent? If so, which solvents are good to start with. I was thinking water and methanol.

a) I was thinking of using hot water as the hot solvent for methyl 4-aminobenzoate and for 2-chlorobenzoic acid. Is this correct to do so?

b) Which solvent should I also use to recrystallize 1,4-dibromobenzene?

TLC Question

Q7: Which solvent should I use to run the TLC for my organic compounds. After I know which solvent I will be using, where should I expect each compound to travel relative to the other organic compounds? (i.e. closest to the solvent line, middle of the solvent line, furthest from solvent line).

Miscellaneous Question

Q8: What's the point of telling me the percentages of the compounds in the mixture? Does that affect how much reagant I should be using during the acid-based extraction?

I need to know the procedures of the experiment below :

Separation of a Three-Component Mixture by Extraction â

benzoic acid ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate diphenyl sulfone

A 1.5-gram sample of a 1:1:1 (by weight) mixture of benzoic acid, ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and diphenyl sulfone was added to a 125 mL separatory funnel. Isopropyl acetate (20 mL) was added to the separatory funnel and the mixture swirled until all solids had dissolved. The solution was sequentially extracted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (4 X 5 mL), then with water (1 X 5 mL); with the aqueous extracts from each extraction being added to a 50 mL beaker (beaker 1). [The separatory funnel should be shaken for at least 1 minute during each of the four NaHCO3 extractions. Venting of the funnel should be done every 20-25 seconds during each extraction. When draining off the aqueous layer in these and all subsequent extractions leave a two mm tall layer of aqueous solution in the separatory funnel. This greatly reduces the amount of organic layer that contaminates the aqueous extracts.] Next the organic layer was extracted sequentially with 5% aqueous NaOH solution (3 X 5 mL) then with water (1 X 5 mL). Each aqueous extract was collected in a 50 mL beaker (beaker 2). [The separatory funnel should be shaken for at least 1.0 minute during each NaOH extraction..] The remaining organic layer is extracted with saturated aqueous NaCl solution (5 mL) and the aqueous layer is discarded [Do not leave any water in the funnel after this extraction]. The organic layer is transferred to a 50 mL erlenmeyer flask (flask 3). The separatory funnel is washed with isopropyl acetate (2 X 2 mL) with each washing being added to flask 3. The organic solution in flask 3 is dried (Na2SO4) then decanted into a tared 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask (flask 4). The drying agent is washed with isopropyl acetate (2 X 1 mL) with each rinse being added to flask 4. The solvent in flask 4 is evaporated to give crude diphenyl sulfone as a white solid: .416 g, 83.2%, M. pt.=121-127oC. [Evaporate the solvent using a hot plate sat on a moderate (4) setting. You must be very careful not to overheat the product when all the solvent has boiled away. The only way to actually know when all of the solvent has been removed is to weight the flask at the point of â presumed drynessâ, then reheat for a few seconds and re-weigh the flask. If the weight does not change, the product is solvent free. An alternative, and probably better, procedure is to evaporate the isopropyl acetate until only 3-5 mL of solution remains, cool, add hexane (10 mL), chill in an ice bath then filter. Both procedures work well. If insufficient time remains to isolate this material on day 1, then store the dried isopropyl acetate solution in your drawer until the next lab period. The solvent will have evaporated by then. Optional: tlc (alumina,

70/30 hexane/ethyl acetate) showed a single spot, Rf = .58. The crude product is recrystallized from toluene to give the crude product; M. pt.= 125-127ï° C.]

The aqueous solution in beaker 1 was acidified (acid to litmus paper) by the addition of 6 M HCl solution to give a white precipitate. [Caution! Foaming will occur due to liberation of CO2] After cooling the resulting mixture in an ice bath for 10 minutes, the solid was isolated by vacuum filtration, washed with ice water (3 X 1ml), and air dried to give crude benzoic acid as a white solid: .358 g, 71.6%, M. pt.= 115-120oC. [OPTIONAL: tlc (alumina, 70/30 hexane/ethyl acetate) showed a single spot (Rf = .03). This material was recrystallized from water to give pure benzoic acid; M. pt. = 118- 120ï°C.]

The aqueous solution in beaker 2 was acidified (acid to litmus paper) by the addition of 6 M HCl to give a white precipitate. The resulting aqueous mixture was cooled in an ice bath for 10 minutes. The resulting white solid was isolated by vacuum filtration, washed with ice water (3 X 1 mL), and air dried to give the crude ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoae: .353 g, 70.6%, M.pt.= 113-117oC. [Optional: tlc (alumina, 70/30 hexane/ethyl acetate) showed a single spot (Rf = .42). The crude material was recrystallized from 1/1 toluene/hexane to give the pure ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate as a white solid; M. pt.= 115- 117ï°C.]
