Explain step-by-step procedures for conducting this experiment using organic chemistry lab techniques. Please help me find out how I should conduct this experiment if I got such scenario in the lab. I need a step by step procudere and also need clarification on the extraction part where which layer would be what (bottom layer vs top layer). I have issues with understanding the layers and finding out which one is which.
Scenario: An organic chemistry student was attempting to synthesize N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide from m-toluic acid and the reaction did not go to completion and the student ended up with a mixture of both compounds. Purify the m-toluic acid. Provide data to show that your compound is pure.
Materials Available in the Lab: Solvents: acetone, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexanes, dichloromethane. Aqueous Solutions: 1 M NaOH, 1 M HCl, 3 M NaOH, 3 M HCl, 1 M NaHCO3, saturated NaCl. Drying Agent: sodium sulfate Special Glassware: TLC chambers and plates, separatory funnels
