Question

The literature melting point foe Johnny's Diels-Alder product is 165 degree C. Johnny collects his crude product by vacuum filtration and lets it dry for a few minutes. He determines the melting point as a range from 156-161 degree C. What should Johnny do? A. Start the experiment over - he has the wrong product. B. The product might stab be wet with solvent; he should allow it to dry further to a constant weight and see if the melting range changes. C. The product might not be very pure - he should recrystallize a portion and lake a melting point of the recrystallized product. Both B & C All of the above.

Explanation / Answer

option C is the correct answer

in general after reaction ou rproduct will not be so pure when impure samples are there is is common that melting poin range will varey

once you recrystalize it you will get the exactly pure compound that melting point will be definetly equal to l;iterature melting point.
