Hey I have taken the basic chem classes but still need some clarification of the techniques for cleaning reaction products. A/B and whatever else. I understand A/B extraction is where for you have multiple reaction byproducts. all are uncharged and nonpolar, some are more basic than others so when acid is introduced the basic ones form a cation and are therfore popar, disolving in the aqueous layer. Keep whichever layer should have the goodies. Is that about it? what about the NAOH washes in the Oxone synth? same thing? Other than that is there any online explaination of the techniques, why they work, ect..so i would know how to purify somthing i made without using a writeup. Thanks bees
Cause its so fun!
