TLC eluent for benzophenone. I am doing a lab that involved purifying benzophenone that contains traces of benzoic acid. I will be dissolving the impure sample of benzophenone with diethyl ether first, then NaOh, then separating the layers. I will then take the organic layer and wash with NaOH again, then wash with water. After recrystallizing the product and drying the product, what will i use as an eluent for the TLC chamber? I am going to run a TLC plate containing the impure starting material, the crude product, and the pure product. What will i use for the eluent and also to dissolve the samples to spot on the plate?

    please answer the prelab excercise:) I tried doing it but I did not get very far Experiment 7: Grignard Reaction. Introduction Discovered by French chemist Victor Grignard, the reaction that now bears his name is an example of the preparation of an organometallic reagent. In this lab, phenylmagnesium bromide is the Grignard of interest, and it will be added to an aldehyde to produce an alcohol. Lab Objectives 1. To study organometallic reagents in general. benzophenone. 2. To prepare phenylmagnesium...

    Grignard Reaction with a Ketone: Triphenylmethanol Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to prepare phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent, and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Grignard reagents are very reactive and must be synthesized in an environment free of water or any other source of potential proton donor. Once made, the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone, benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give...
