Hi I'm having trouble answering these & would appreciate ifsomeone could help me real quick.
I used Hexanes as my TLC solvent!
1. How does sodium 2-phenylphenolate react with acid and/orbase? Draw the acid-base reaction(with arrow pushing) you used to isolate this compound.2. Recall that TLC functions as it does because compounds caneither interact with the stationaryphase (i.e., silica gel) or the mobile phase (i.e., solvent). Drawa picture that shows theinteractions between 2-phenylphenol and silica gel; and2-phenylphenol and the TLC solvent.Silica gel is best described as particles of SiO2 with silanol(Si-OH) groups on the surface.
Thank you So much!
