• Working up reaction mixtures
Separation and purification of the products.
The reaction mixture contains several components (product, solvent, reagents, educts, side-products).
You should not throw away any rest material before having completed the isolation.
Typical cases:
- The product precipitates: filtration, washing, recrystallisation - The product does not precipitate:
distillation of the solvent, then crystallization (non- volatile product); or: purification by extraction and distillation (volatile product)
World of Molecules: Hints for practices

World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Separatory funnel
- Control the ground glass joint of stopper and the stopcork
- Place the separatory funnel into the Bunsen ring
- Transfer the phases into the separatory funnel through funnel
- Shaking - Venting!
- Separation
Problems of separation: formation of emulsion. In this case, rotate gently the separatory funnel or add salt
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Drying
Liquids and solutions
removal of traces of water – Drying of a solvent
– Drying of a solution
– anhydrous Na2SO4, MgSO4, K2CO3, CaCl2
Stirring for 10-30 min in order to get clear solution Filtration through fluted filter paper
Evaporation
Removal of greater amount of water: by fractional or azeotropic distillation
If small amount of water is present, molecule sieve can be used for drying (reversible storing of water molecules) Adding a reactive compound (Na metal, P2O5, metal hydride):
it reacts with protic solvents, then distillation is needed. Reacts extremely vigorously, extra care is needed!
World of Molecules: Hints for practices

Vacuum desiccator
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Gravitational filtration of a suspension with fluted filter paper
Separation of a solid material from liquid Removal of the charcoal: filtration of the saturated hot solution through fluted paper
Prevention of the crystallization in the funnel:
Use warm funnel
Warm the funnel before the filtration Wet the paper with hot solvent
Crystallization
Cooling slowly (the size of the crystals)
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Filtration
Filtration by reduced pressure (suction filtration)
Separation of a precipitate from the mother liquid Büchner funnel with filter paper
Büchner flask
Steps of suction filtration: filtration, washing with cold solvent in order to remove the mother liquid, drying
Water pump
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Dangerous operation
We heat the liquid to boiling, and after condensation of the vapor, the material is collected in another flask
Types of distillation:
1. Simple distillation: at atmospheric pressure, for liquids boiling below 150oC, evaporation
2. Vacuum distillation: for liquids boiling above 150oC and/or being heat- sensitive
3. Fractional distillation: (rectification) for separation of liquid mixtures by using column according to the boiling points of the components, if the difference between the boiling points is less than 25oC
4. Steam distillation: see later
Distillation
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Simple distillation:
appropriate apparatus, receiver flask for the different fractions mercury ball of the thermometer
cooling water, stirring, heating different fractions
rate: 1 drop/sec
Monitoring temperature, volume of the distillate, distillation temperature of the main fraction are necessary.
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Apparatus for fractional distillation
Difference between the boiling points of the
liquids to be separated is less than 25
oC
Distillation column
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Conditions of fractional distillation
♦ The components must not form azeotropic mixture with each other
♦ Perfect drying is needed
♦ Length of the column should be chosen according to the b.p. difference of the components (the smaller the b.p. difference, the longer the column)
Advantages of fractional distillation
♦ The components can be distilled one by one in high % and in high purities
Disadvantages of fractional distillation
♦ There are always intermediate fractions and distillation residue
♦ Cleaning of the main flask after long distillation period might be difficult (the compounds are burned into the flask)
♦ Lot of time and lot of energy is needed, there are other alternatives
♦ More skill is needed to get the main fractions with top qualities World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Apparatus for vacuum distillation
nitrobenzene
water
pressure in mm temperature o C
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Conditions of vacuum distillation
♦ The compound must not form azeotropic mixture with water
♦ There must not be present any insoluble impurity
♦ Pay attention on using unbroken glassware only
Advantages of vacuum distillation
♦ Lot of time and lot of energy is saved, since much lower bath temperature is used
Disadvantages of vacuum distillation
♦ Getting data on the main fraction is more complicated, temperature- pressure pairs should be read continuously
♦ It is usually not good for separation of liquid components, unless they have b.p. difference of more than 100oC at atmospheric pressure
♦ Changing the fractions is possible by rotation of the receiver only
♦ There is extremely high danger of explosion
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Evaporation at reduced pressure Rotational vacuum evaporator (ROTA)
It is for the elimination of solvent(s), we want to get the distillation
residue.
Problem: distillation of solvents from a reaction mixture does not characterize the distillation
residue!!!
vacuum
Alternative of vacuum distillation:
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Steam distillation Conditions:
1.) Do not mix (immiscible) with water 2.) Volatile with water
3.) Do not react with water
P = P
A+P
BWorld of Molecules: Hints for practices
Disadvantages of steam distillation
♦ Lot of energy is needed, and the use of overheated water can be dangerous
♦ Careful adjusting the rate of boiling water and the rate of the distillation of the reaction mixture is needed in order to have 0 net flux (the level of the reaction mixture must remain the same during the whole process)
♦ It might not be a good process if more than one component is volatile
♦ Other organic solvents should not be present
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
For purification of solid materials
Base: solubility depends on the temperature Steps:
- Select an appropiate solvent
- Preparation of a hot, saturated solution - Clarification (charcoal)
- Filtration of the hot solution - Cooling – crystallization - Filtration by suction
- Drying
Crystallization
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Aspects of selecting the solvent
- No reaction is allowed with the material
- Good solubility at the boilig point, slight solubility at low temperature
- It should dissolve the impurities at low temperature well, or at high temperature slightly or not at all
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Preparation of the saturated hot solution
Flammable solvent
Round-bottom flask, with termometer Boiling stones (chips) or stirring
Water or oil bath
Adding the necessary amount of the solvent and boiling
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Not flammable solvent (e.g., water):
Erlenmeyer-flask Boiling chips
Ceramic pad Bunsen-flame
Adding the necessary amount of the solvent and boiling
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Clarification
Removing of colored as well as apolar impurities (charcoal) Hot, but not boiling solution + 1-5% charcoal
1-2 minutes boiling
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Control the purity of the sample
The products should be characterized by physical constants which show their purity. For identification and structure determination, various spectroscopic methods are used.
- Determination of melting point - Checking of the boiling point - Refractivity
- Thin-layer chromatography - Spectroscopy (IR, NMR, MS) - Elemental analyses
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Melting point determination
Melting point: temperature at which the solid and the melted form is in equilibrium (melting range)
For identification and characterization of the purity of the sample Thiele apparatus
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Chromatography
It is a separation method based on the selective distribution of the
components of a mixture between the stationary and the mobile phase.
The components of the mixture move by different rate along the stationary phase, the component having stronger interaction with the stationary phase remains behind (retention).
Mobile phase

According to the mechanism of the separation
What kind of interaction does take place in the separation?
Adsorption, distribution, biological affinity, ion exchange, exclusion by size, complex formation, etc.
Adsorption chromatography
interaction: equilibrium between the adsorption to the active surface sites of the stationary phase and the desorption caused by the mobile phase.
Adsorption depends on polar interactions mainly: coordinative interactions, secondary interactions (e.g., hydrogen bridge, dipole-dipole interaction).
Retention is determined by the character, number and spatial arrangement of the polar groups in the molecule.
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
According to the polarity of the stationary and mobile phases Normal phase chromatography:
Polar stationary phase – apolar mobile phase
Retention increases by increasing polarity of the molecule.
(Typical stationary phases: silica gel, aluminium oxide, cellulose)
Reverse phase chromatography:
Apolar stationary phase – polar mobile phase
Retention decreases by increasing polarity of the molecule.
(Typical stationary phases: silica gel modified by alkyl silanes) World of Molecules: Hints for practices
According to the technics used column chromatography:
The stationary phase is placed into a column.
Preparative method
- Classical column chromatography
- Quick (flash) column chromatography
- Liquid chromatography with great efficiency (HPLC) flat orientation chromatography:
Separation takes place in two dimension Mostly analytical method
-Paper chromatography
-Thin layer chromatography
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Technics: - Flat orientation
- Separation happens on a thin (0.5-2 mm) stationary phase fixed on glass or aluminium sheet.
-Mobile phase (eluent) is moved by the capillary effect.
- Chromatogram is developed in a closed container

Stationary phase (adsorbent)
The usual stationary phases of thin layer chromatography:Silica gel,

Silica gel
Polar – normal phase chromatography
It is prepared by dehydration of silicic acid (H4SiO4) with great relative surface (200-1000 m2/g)
Silanol (Si-OH) groups can be found on its surface
Adsorption is influenced by water adsorbed on its surface (decreasing activity)
Standardized sheets are used.

Mobile phase (eluent)
It is usually an organic solvent, or mixture of organic solvents
The elution ability of solvents increases by increasing polarity of the solvents
Increasing elution order:
Petrolether, cyclohexane, toluene, dichloromethane, chloroform, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, methanol, water, acetic acid
Detection
-by UV lamp (254 nm/366 nm)
-by developing reagent (e.g., iodine, cerium(IV) salts, phosphoric acid) World of Molecules: Hints for practices
How to carry out thin layer chromatography 1
- Prepare the container: fill with eluent with height of about 5 mm
- Mark position of the samples by a pointless pencil
(keep distance of 10 mm from the bottom of the sheet and between the spots)
- Prepare solution from the compound to-be- examined
- Apply 1 or 2 drops from the sample by capillary to the TLC plate, and dry it
- Place the TLC plate into the closed container saturated by vapors of the eluent.
Close the container, and do not move!

World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Possible uses of TLC:
- checking course of a reaction
- determination number of the components in the (reaction) mixture - checking presence of some components
- modelling column chromatography (choosing eluent) or detection - examination of purity
Limits of TLC:
- mainly qualitative method
- volatile compounds can not be used
- with limited resolution (many eluents must be checked until receiving perfect separation)
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Separation carried out on preparative scale
Stationary phase (most often is silica gel) is filled into vertical column.
The eluent is moved by gravity.
Pour the sample to-be-purified to the top of column (adsorb it to the top layer of the stationary phase) Add more eluent from above
Collect fractions
Check ingredients of the fractions (by TLC)
Unify the proper fractions, and evaporate the solvent(s) Choosing eluent:
model by TLC (Rf: 0.1-0.6 must be) Amount of the stationary phase:
25-100 times of the sample to-be-purified
Classical column chromatography
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Dropping rate of the eluent
Influences efficiency of the separation
Two opposite processes must be taken into account:
If dropping rate is low
- great diffusion – decreases efficiency
- there is time for making equilibrium (adsorption- desorption) – increases efficiency
If dropping rate is fast - diffusion is negligible
- there is no time for making equilibrium
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
This is the quick, more efficient variation of classic column chromatography, applying small extra pressure Its principle: the lower particle size (40-63 μm) of the adsorbent makes formation of the equilibrium much faster
Conditions:
- outside extra pressure in order to prevent resistance caused by lower particle size
- Rf value of the compound to-be-purified: 0.3-0.4 - Rf difference of the components must be greater,
than 0.1
-ΔCv: 2-3 (ΔCv=1/Rf;A-1/Rf;B)
„Flash” column chromatography
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
World of Molecules: Hints for practices

High Performance Liquide Chromatography (HPLC)
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Fundamental parts of the equipment:
- pump – demand: flowing free of fluctuation - using sampler – applying two-way valve - column – made of thick glass or steel tube
size: 1-5 mm x 10-30 cm (analytical); diameter>10 mm (preparative)
- detector – by UV, by refractivity, by conductivity, by MS, by fluorescence
- (fraction collector)
High Performance Liquide Chromatography (HPLC)
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Origin of impurities:
- Side products prepared during the synthesis - Decomposition due to storing (by light, by air)
- Decomposition caused by storing (reaction with the material of the container, by humidity of air)
Solvents with appropriate quality are needed for the given purpose E.g.,
- There is no need to use anhydrous solvents for extraction, however, the solvent must not contain volatile impurity
- The eluent for chromatography must not contain solvent with different polarity (eluent with high purity is needed for HPLC)
- Anhydrous solvent is needed for water sensitive reactions (e.g., for Grignard reaction) Solvents with various purity can be bought, but frequently further purification is needed - Point of views of economy (factor of price)
- How to avoid contamination during storing
Purity of solvents
World of Molecules: Hints for practices
Peroxides are formed in ethers or alcohols during storing, due to light and/or oxygen
Peroxides are extremely explosive!
Checking peroxides:
-by test strip
-by adding KI reagent dissolved in hydrochloric acid, in the presence of starch:
it turns to be blue in the presence of peroxides
Methodes for removal of peroxides:
1. Boiling in the presence of SnCl2
2. Extraction by FeSO4 dissolved in sulfuric acid or FeCl2 dissolved in hydrochloric acid
3. Extraction by Na2SO3 solution
4. Chromatogrphy/filtration through column filled with Al2O3 5. mixing with LiAlH , or with CaH
