So we have 2 compounds, a neutral compound and a weakly basic compound. How do we perform liquid-liquid extraction?
Both of these compounds are soluble in diethyl ether, but when aqueous HCl is added to an ethereal solution of the two
So we have 2 compounds, a neutral compound and a weakly basic compound. How do we perform liquid-liquid extraction?
The weakly basic one is converted to an ionic salt, whereas the neutral compound is unaffected
So we have 2 compounds, a neutral compound and a weakly basic compound. How do we perform liquid-liquid extraction?
Ionic compounds are usually more soluble in water than they are in diethyl ether; consequently this salt goes into aqueous layer
So we have 2 compounds, a neutral compound and a weakly basic compound. How do we perform liquid-liquid extraction?
After the separation, the weakly basic compound is regenerated by adding a base, and is extracted from aqueous solution by ether
What temperature should all extractions be done at?
At room temperature. It is dangerous to extract a warm solution
Draw the equation converting benzocaine to its salt form
Double check in lab manual
Draw extraction flow chart using proper reagents
Look in lab manual for answers
What is the max volume RB flasks should be?
RB flasks should never be more than 1/2 full. If we have too much solution, put some in RB evaporate it, then add rest of it into same flask
Why do we add 6M NaOH to the salt of base fraction?
We add it to regenerate our base. We test if we regenerated it by using a litmus test.
