A standard sample of compound A was placed on a silica TLC plate. After elution in 30/70 ethyl acetate/hexane, the sample showed a single spot at 3.4 cm (relative to the initial point) after the solvent had risen to 7.1 cm (relative to the initial point). A sample which was thought to contain this compound was analyzed by TLC and showed two spots after elution in the same solvent system. The solvent height for this plate was 6.5 cm (relative to the initial point) and the spots were located at 3.6 cm and 5.2 cm (relative to the initial point). Can either of these spots possibly be compound A? Explain. Include a discussion of the R, for each spot.
