Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 10E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The extraction of trimyristin and tripalmitin from the plant material needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Extraction is defined as a method used to isolate a substance which is mixed with some other substance. It is done by adding a solvent in which one the substance which needs to be extracted is soluble and other substance is insoluble.

You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.
2.1g of sample are dissolved in methylene chloride and the sample is extracted with an aqueous solution of acid and base. Three compounds are isolated - 0.7g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 0.6 g of acetanilide, and 0.5 g of benzoic acid. Calculate the % composition of ethyl p-aminobenzoate in the recovered mixture. (Round the answer to 1 significant figure. Give just the number, not a % sign.)
Isopropanol is a good extraction solvent for plant pigments as it breaks down cell walls and is miscible with pigments. Can you be sure that you only extracted chlorophyll-a from your spinach leaf? If not, what else might have been extracted?
