'm doing my organic lab report and there are two questions I have no idea how to do.
I've asked the prof. but he takes forever to email me back so......
The questions:
Write equations showing how caffeine could be extracted from an organic solvent and subsequently isolated.
Write equations showing how acetaminophen might be extracted from an organic solvent such as an ether, if it were soluble.
how would you go about doing this???
would you use a simple reaction equation with reactants and then products? we used dicholormethane to extract the caffiene from tea so would you take the caffeine molecular structure + dichloromethane= the products??
