4.2. Expert Experimentalist: “Setting the Pace” *** This is a two-day experiment. Do not start this experiment unless you have two free lab days to complete it. *** Techniques Checklist: • Picking the correct eluent ❑ • Adsorbtion of a crude mixture onto silica gel ❑ • Separating complex mixtures using gradient elution ❑ Pre-lab Discussion: • Suggest limited list of eluent solvent systems • Discuss sample adsorption and gradient elution strategies Equipment: • Identical to CC Level Goal: • Separate a complex mixture of three compounds using gradient elution flash column chromatography. Experiment Outline: • You will receive 20 mL of an ether/pentane solution containing 0.20 g of guaiazulene, 0.20 g of 9-fluorenone, and 0.20 g of 3-methylanisole. • Analyze the mixture by TLC using the solvent systems discussed in the pre-lab lecture - see TLC Guide. • Decide on an appropriate starting eluent. • Decide on the silica gel to compound ratio. • Prepare the column - See Flash Column Chromatography Guide. • Adsorb the mixture onto a small amount of silica gel, according to the instructions provided in the pre-lab lecture and the DLTM. • Apply the mixture to the column, being sure to rinse the sides and apply an extra layer of sand to the top of the column. • Run the column. 30 WARNING NOTICE: The experiments described in these materials are potentially hazardous and require a high level ofsafety training, special facilities and equipment, and supervision by appropriate individuals.
