Answer #1

During the recrystallization process for synthesized compound, first we need to check soluble solvent for particular solvent. at the same time we need to identify insoluble solvent for that compound. synthesized compound should dissolve in minimum amount of soluble solvent, then add insoluble solvent (anti solvent) until solid formation. Then filter the compound and dry.that recrystalised compound must pure. we can check the purity of compound by using TLC, HPLC.

A student was attempting a recrystallization in an ethanol-water mixture (about 1:4) of an impure compound (quite soluble in ethanol) with a melting point when pure of 48 Degrees Celsius, but the substance kept oiling out when the temperature was lowered despite scratching, putting in seed crystals, and ardent prayer. Can you suggest an adjustment of the solvent composition that might improve the chances of getting crystals rather than oil to form when saturation is reached by cooling?

How does recrystallization work? I see it as an impure compound is dissolved in a hot solvent. At room temperature and high temperatures, the impurities are dissolved. However, the pure compound is only soluble at high temperatures and went cooled back to room temperature, it crystallizes whereas the impurities stay dissolved in solution. Is that how it works?
