Suppose you want to separate a mixture of the following compounds: benzoic acid, m-cresol, p-aminobenzophenone, and napthalene. Come up with a list of steps and chemicals needed to most efficiently isolate all four compounds as solids with the greatest purity possible.

Expert Solution

i. dissolve all the compounds in ether and add NaHCO3 solution.

2.Benzoic acid froms sodium benzoate with NaHCO3 and goes in to aq. layer. Organic layer contains remaining three compouns

3. Now separate aq, layer and add aq. HCL, benzoic acid will precipitae out . filter benzoic acid and dry.

4. Take aq. layer having three compound add aq. NaOH. Cresol forms salt with naoh and goes in to aq. layer. Organic layer contains amine and napthalene

5. separate aq. layer and add aq. HCl. followedby ether. cresol comes into ether layer. dry ether to get cresol.

6. take organic layer of step-4 and add aq. HCl. Benzophenone amine forms salt with HCl and goes in to aq. layer.

7. separate aql layer, add aq. NaOH, and extract in to ether, dry ether to get benzophenone amine.

8. take orgnic layer from step no.6 and dry ether to get naphalene

You did a reaction and it resulted in the following mixture of compounds: (Benzoic ring, benzoic ring with OH, Benzoic ring with COOH) What would you do to isolate and then purify benzoic acid? How would you prove that your final product is pure? Which peaks in the IR and NMR you would look for to see if you got indeed benzoic acid? Mention all, but also specify the peaks that are different from peaks the other compounds have as...
