Introduction
In general, chromatography is a technique that can be used to separate and then aid in
the analysis of mixtures of compounds. There are many different types of chromatography such
as gas chromatography, ion chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),
and many more. In organic chemistry, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and column
chromatography are chromatography techniques used often to analyze and then purify organic
compounds and mixture they come from.
TLC is a technique that can be used to quickly track the progress of a reaction or roughly
quantify the number of different compounds present in a mixture and is frequently used in
organic synthesis labs for these purposes. In this lab, you will learn how to set up and develop
TLC plates using various solvent systems and extract valuable information from TLC plate
analysis. Column chromatography is a chemical separation method often used by organic
chemists to separate mixtures of organic compounds. In the second part of the lab, you will
learn how to use column chromatography to purify a mixture of organic compounds. Column
chromatography is one of the most popular and useful methods for purification of organic
compounds and is a valuable technique for any synthetic organic chemist.
Both TLC and column chromatography as we will be using them in this lab will separate
compounds based on polarity. Silica gel will be used and the stationary phase for both the TLC
and column chromatography portions of the lab, setting up what is called a normal phase (Polar
stationary phase, nonpolar mobile phase) system.

Pre-Lab Assignment (15 points)
Answer the following questions:
1. The structures for benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde are shown below. Answer the following
questions based on these structures.(A) Why is Benzaldehyde less polar than benzyl alcohol?
(B) Which would travel farther (produce a higher R
f
value) on a normal phase (Polar stationary
phase, nonpolar mobile phase) TLC plate? (C) Which would travel farther on a reverse phase
TLC plate (Nonpolar stationary phase, polar mobile phase)? (3 pts)
A)
Benzaldehyde is less polar than benzyl alcohol because the hydroxyl group on the
benzyl alcohol experiences a greater net dipole moment than the O atom in
benzaldehyde. In benzyl alcohol, since there is a dipole moment going towards the O
both from the cyclic portion and the H (bonded to the O), there will be a larger overall
dipole moment making it a more polar molecule. Benzyl alcohol can also H-bond,
making it more polar.
B)
Benzaldehyde will travel farther and produce a higher Rf value because it is incapable of
H-bonding in the normal phase while benzyl alcohol can H-bond with its hydroxyl group.
As a result, benzaldehyde will be in the mobile phase longer while the benzyl alcohol will
spend more time in the stationary phase as it forms strong
IMF’s with the silica gel
.
C)
Benzyl alcohol will travel farther on a reverse phase because given that the silica gel
now has constituents that can H-bond, the benzaldehyde will spend more time in the
stationary phase as the hydrogen bonding of the silica gel will bond with the
benzaldehyde’s
O atom.
2. Suppose a student develops a normal phase TLC plate containing two different compounds
(A & B) and obtains the data below. Answer the following questions based on this data.

values for both compounds.
(B) Based on the data, which compound is
more polar? (C) What is problematic with the developing solvent system that is being used? (6
pts.)
A) Rf(A) = 9.5cm/10.0cm = 0.95
Rf(B) = 7.5cm/10.0cm
–
0.75
B)
Compound B is more polar since it didn’t move as far as Compound A.
C) The problem is that since both compounds were very close to 1, it might indicate that the
polarity of the solvent system is not ideal for the separation of these two compounds.
3. A student develops two compounds (A & B) in three separate developing chambers
containing three different solvent systems (1, 2, & 3) using normal phase TLC plates.
The R

(A)
Which solvent system worked the best for the separation of compounds A and B and
explain your answer
Since the greatest difference in Rf values is 0.23 in system 1, it worked the best in
separating compounds A and B.
(B)
Which solvent system is the most polar and explain your answer?
System 3 is the most polar because in a polar solvent, the compounds will travel farther.
Since compound A and compound B traveled the furthest, they will be more polar than the
compounds in the other systems.
Procedure
Instructors will show students how to prepare capillary tubes for spotting. Students will then
prepare capillary tubes for themselves.

1.
Obtain samples of fluorene, fluorenone, fluorenol, and unknown mixture (the unknown
may contain one, two, or all these compounds). Record the unknown sample number.
Unk A
2.
Use a soft pencil (not pen) to draw lines (as lightly as possible to avoid scratching the
TLC plates) about 1 cm above the bottom edge of a normal phase TLC plate.
Do this for
a few TLC plates.
3.
Draw 4 tick marks with equal spacing between them on one of the TLC plates as shown
below. NOTE: keep the tick marks at least 3 mm away from the edge of the TLC plates.
4.
Spot two times, (as small as possible. < 2 mm dia.) on each tick mark with each of your
solutions (Fluorene, Fluorenone, Fluorenol and all 3 mixture.
Let the solvent evaporate
between each re-spotting step to prevent diffusion.
Make sure to use the same capillary
tube for re-
spotting each tick mark.
Don’t re
-spot more than a total of three times.
B. Developing TLC plates:
1.
Add a few mL of methylene chloride into a beaker with a cover (This is your developing
chamber).
Cut a piece of filter paper tall enough to reach the top edge of the chamber.
Dip it into the solvent standing vertically and leaning against the glass wall. Cover the
chamber with a watch glass, aluminum foil, or polyethylene (PE) film.
2.
Wait for five minutes to let the solvent vapor saturate the developing chamber.
3.
Put the TLC plate into the developing chamber carefully so that the solvent front on the
plate remains horizontal and marked origin line is above it. Make sure that the plate does
not come in contact with the filter paper liner.
4.
Once the TLC plate is in the developing chamber, don’t touch it so the developing
solvent solution will rise evenly up the plate. Wait until the solvent front reaches about 1
cm short of the top edge of the plate and
don’t let the solvent front go all the way to the
top of the TLC plate.
CHEM 230L: Organic Chemistry I Lab
Chapman University
Page 5
5.
Take out the TLC plate and
mark the solvent front immediately
with a soft pencil. The
organic solvents evaporate quickly and you will not be able to see the solvent front
clearly once this occurs. Leave the plate horizontally on your bench on a clean surface
(paper towel) to dry well.
6.
Check the TLC plates by placing them under a UV (short wavelength) lamp. Circle all the
spots that show up under UV and use a ruler to mark the center of each spot. Use a
ruler to measure the distance from the solvent front to the origin line and the center of
each spot to the origin line.
7.
Repeat steps 3-6 using another TLC plate to prove that Rf values are reproducible if
TLC plates are properly developed.
8.
Calculate the R
f
values for all the observed spots and take pictures of or draw the TLC
plates.
9.
Repeat the procedure using two other solvent systems (methylene chloride: hexane =
4:1 and methylene chloride: hexane = 1:1). Prepare new TLC chambers for the two
additional solvent systems to find out which solvent system is the best.
C. Column Chromatography
A mixture of Fluorene and Fluorenone (300 mg each in 9 mL 5% CH
2
Cl
2
: 95% Hexane) will be
separated by column chromatography using silica gel as the adsorbent.
1.
Prepare a chromatography column by placing a small piece of cotton into a Pasteur
glass pipette, pushing it down close to the narrow neck of the pipette using copper wire
or an applicator stick.
Make sure the cotton ball tightly covers and seals the opening
around the neck to prevent silica gel from leaking out but not too tight so the solvent can
flow through easily.
2.
Add silica gel powder to the glass pipette and stop about 2 cm from the top edge of the
Pasteur pipette. Lightly tap the pipette using a spatula to help the silica gel powder pack
tightly. Put another small piece of cotton on top of silica gel column.
3.
Load the silica gel with the best solvent system determined from
The TLC portion of
the lab
and make sure all air bubbles are driven out by supplying the glass pipette with
the solvent continuously until no air bubbles can be observed in the column.
Note:
Never let the solvent level to drop below the top of silica gel.
4.
Let the solvent in the column drip out until the solvent level reaches the top of the cotton,
then gently add your mixture solution dropwise to the column.
While waiting, prepare 10
labelled test tubes (1-10).
Let all the mixture solution travel down and absorb onto the
silica gel.
5.
Elute the compounds by adding the same solvent from step 3 continually to the column.
Collect 1 mL of the eluent into each of the sequentially numbered test tubes.
6.
Spot each test tube on one large TLC or three smaller TLC plates an label the spots 1-
10 to match the test tube for each spot. Develop the TLC plate(s) and observe them
under the UV lamp. Mark each spot on the plate(s) take or draw pictures of your TLC
plate(s).

2.
Which was the best solvent system in
Part B
and Explain your answer (3 pts.)?
The best solvent system was the methylene chloride: hexane 1:1 because it yielded the
best separation between the samples. The Rf values are spaced nicely, 0.28 apart from
each other while the other solvent systems resulted in closer Rf values.
3.
Explain the order that you observed for each compound (fluorene, fluorenone, fluorenol)
with respect to how far they travelled up the TLC plate (and corresponding Rf values)
relative to eachother. Refer to the structure of each compound in your answer. (6 pts.)
Fluorene traveled the farthest (Rf = 0.84), fluorenone traveled the second farthest (Rf =
0.56), and fluorenol traveled the least distance (Rf = 0.28). Fluorene traveled the farthest
because of its nonpolar characteristics; since the solvent is non-polar, there will be
minimal chemical interaction between fluorene and methylene chloride; hexane 1:1.
Fluorenone traveled the second farthest because it is more polar than fluorene but can’t
H-bond like fluorenol can. Fluorenol traveled the least distance because since it can H-
bond, it will interact with the solvent more, making it in the stationary phase more than
the mobile phase.

What was the number of your unknown solution and what compounds were present in
your unknown solution? (3 pts.)
Unknown A; the compound that was present in our unknown solution was fluorene. The
Rf values of the unknown were consistent with the Rf values of the fluorene in all three
solvent systems.

6. Which test tubes in
Part C
contained only fluorene (if any), which test tubes contained
only fluorenone, and which contained only Fluorenol?
Which test tubes contained
multiple compounds (if any)? How do you know? (5 pts.)
*Test tubes 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8 didn’t yield any compounds. This was likely a result of not
enough solute being dotted on the TLC plates. Test tube 4 contained multiple
compounds because the dotted solute traveled two different distances. It is most likely
that the two compounds are fluorenone and fluorenol since they traveled less than the
compound seen in test tubes 8-15. Test tubes 1 and 8-15 contained only fluorene
because the compounds traveled the same distances and relatively far (indicating that
the compound is likely non-polar).
7. Overall, comment on how well column chromatography was able to separate the compounds
in the mixture for part C (2 pts.)
Column chromatography was not very effective in this experiment because a third of our
test tubes didn’t yield any compound.
In terms of relative distances and Rf values of each
compound seen, there was good separation between fluorene and the other compounds, but
the separation between fluorenone and fluorenol was not quite as prevalent.
Conceptual Questions:
1.
Why do we use R
f
values instead of distance measurements (e.g. the spot traveled 5 cm
from the starting line) when comparing compound spots in TLC?
What would happen if
we compared solvent systems using distances rather than R
f
values? (4 pts.)
We use Rf values instead of distance measurements because it standardizes the
separation of compounds. Distance measurements can vary based on the size of the
plates and length of the solvent front. Rf values are also independent of each solvent
system, and with standardization, it enables us to compare values across different TLC
experiments. Comparing distance measurements would result in values that are not
relative across different plates or experiments.
2.
If the developing chamber was not saturated with solvent vapor, would the R
f
values of
the compounds increase or decrease, explain why? (2 pts.)
The Rf values of the compounds will increase because with slower elution, compounds
will need to travel larger distances in order to reach the same amount of separation that
they would achieve in a more saturated chamber. They will also travel larger distances
because the compounds will have more time to migrate.
3.
Describe two ways TLC and column chromatography are the same and two ways they
are different (4 pts.)
TLC and column chromatography are similar because they both separate compounds
based on their characteristics of being non-polar/polar and how long they are in a mobile
or stationary phase. They are also similar because they can separate compounds based
on their physical or chemical characteristics of atomic size, charge, or polarity. They
differ because TLC uses a planar technique with just the dotting of the plates while
column chromatography involves a column filling technique. They also differ because
TLC chromatography is usually a quicker method, where we can spontaneously see the
compounds migrate up the solvent front. Column chromatography separates the
compounds in the vertical column and they elute at different times. TLC is usually used
for smaller samples while column chromatography is supposed to separate and purify
compounds better with larger samples.

Question: Using a sample of aspirin for HPLC analysis. If the aspirin was contaminated (wet) with trace amounts of a solvent such as ethyl acetate, hexane, or water, would this contaminant be detected and appear as a peak in the HPLC chromatogram? Briefly explain based on the type of detector used in HPLC analysis and what type of compounds can be detected.
My Answer: The HPLC analysis detects chromophores, compounds with multiple double bonds. Since water, ethyl acetate, and hexane all lack multiple pi bonds this will not be detected in the HPLC.
-Question for you, is this complete (and correct), and should I include anything about UV detection? Is UV detection used in HPLC? I thought it was only used on TLC to show compunds that arent visable.

Use the Beer's Law plot provided to determine the concentration for a solution with absorbance = 0.5786. Marrow_forwardPre-Lab Questions 1. Define a protein, and describe one important function of proteins in the human body. 2. The following data were obtained from a Bradford assay to determine the protein content in a sample: Protein content (ug) Absorbance value 0 0.000 2 0.022 5 0.065 10 0.106 20 0.178 30 0.299 40 0.380 50 0.472 unknown 0.150 Use Excel, another program, or graph paper to produce a calibration curve based on the data. Use linear regression (or best fit line) to obtain the slope of the line. Determine the unknown protein content for a sample that shows an absorbance reading of b. С. 0.150.arrow_forward
