Organic II lab: Grignard reaction. Preparation of triphenylmethanol
At the end of the experiment, what benchtop test can you use to show that the obtained product is indeed triphenylmethanol? (Explain how)
We can use TLC test to show that the obtained product is indeed triphenylmethanol
Perform the TLC test on the product obtained, compare the Rf value of the product with the crude and pure triphenylmethanol, whose value is 0.75, this means that compound produced is triphenylmethanol
Make sure to check the TLC plates for other spots in order to check for the purity of triphenylmethanol
We can also do NMR analysis
since we know the stats that it will have cluster of peaks in the range 1450 to 1600 with the peaks at 3061(presence of phenol)
