Question

9-fluorenone was isolated and purified from a crude mixture containing chloroanilic acid and benzocaine dissolved in diethyl ether. Arrange the various steps carried out experiment:

a. Drain off the remaining organic from the tip of the separatory funnel
b. Weight out the product and determine Its MP
c. Mix/vent then drain off the organic layer
d. Add sodium sulfate to the aqueous layer to remove aw residua' water
e. Add the crude reaction mixture to the separatory funnel
f. Extract chloroaniIic acid by adding 5%. HCl solution to the crude reaction mixture
g. Extract benzociane by adding 5% HCI solution to the crude reaction mixture
h. Decant the into a round bottom flask and use the rotavap to evaporate solvent
i. Extract benzociane by adding 5% NaOH solution to the organic layer
j. Extract chloroanilic acid by 5% NaOH to to organic War
k. Add sodium sulfate to the organic layer to remove any residual water
l. Mix/vent then drain off the aqueous layer

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

`\text{The steps shown below indicate the rearrangement of the experiment.}`

`\text{e. Add the crude reaction mixture to the separatory funnel}`

`\text{f. Extract chloroaniIic acid by adding 5\%. HCl solution to the crude reaction mixture }`

`\text{l. Mix/vent then drain off the aqueous layer}`

`\text{i. Extract benzociane by adding 5\% NaOH solution to the organic layer}`

`\text{c. Mix/vent then drain off the organic layer}`

`\text{d. Add sodium sulfate to the aqueous layer to remove aw residual water}`

`\text{a. Drain off the remaining organic from the tip of the separatory funnel}`

`\text{h. Decant the into a round bottom flask and use the rotavap to evaporate solvent}`

`\text{b. Weight out the product and determine Its MP}`
