Hello, I'm going to attempt a fractional distillation of WIld Lettuce (mainly for the learning experience not the end product) and need to know whether its active alkaloids are polar or non-polar molecules (even though I'm almost posative they're all polar).
They are:
Lactucin
N-methyl-b-phenethylamine
Coumarins
Cichoriin
Aesculin
Is there a good online resource for looking up such plan constitutes? Maybe a good book someone good recomend? Someone here told me to get the Organic Chemistry Lab Survival Manual and it was an excellent recomendation, just what I needed!
