1. WWU -- Chemistry Experiment 11 ISOLATION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA Reading Assignment –pp. 119 – 127 –Technique 7, pp. 595 – 613 –Green Lab people: download materials –Technique 16, pp. 726 - 731

2. WWU -- Chemistry Caffeine

3. WWU -- Chemistry Distribution Coefficient

4. WWU -- Chemistry See page 597 for an example on how this equation is applied to extraction.

5. WWU -- Chemistry Bottom line! You will remove more solute (caffeine) from an aqueous solution by using two 1 mL portions of methylene chloride than by using one 2 mL portion of methylene chloride! See the textbook for an example.

6. WWU -- Chemistry Separatory funnel Remove from top before you start to drain! Remember! Close stopcock before pouring stuff in the top of the funnel!

7. WWU -- Chemistry Which layer on the top? Which layer is on the bottom? You need to know the density of the methylene chloride and the density of the aqueous phase to answer this question!

8. WWU -- Chemistry Green extraction of caffeine from tea You will remove caffeine from tea using a Solid Phase Extraction column (SPE). Be sure to download the experiment and some of the technique materials from Charles Wandler’s web page.

9. WWU -- Chemistry Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) Two Neoprene adapters SPE column filled with C-18 silica Filter flask To house vacuum

10. WWU -- Chemistry C-18 silica Silica is alkylated with long chain hydrocarbon groups, using 18 carbons long. This is usually referred to as C-18 silica.

11. WWU -- Chemistry Solid phase extraction (SPE) The C-18 column packing is NON-POLAR Caffeine will move more slowly because it is attracted to the column packing. The more polar components such as tannins, gallic acid and chlorophyll move more quickly down the column with the the polar water Once the aqueous materials have moved down the column, then you elute the caffeine with ethyl acetate.

12. WWU -- Chemistry Sublimation Behavior

13. WWU -- Chemistry Sublimation Apparatus To house vacuum

14. WWU -- Chemistry Three examples: 1.A solid will melt if its vapor pressure is below the applied pressure when the solid is heated to its melting point. 2. A solid will sublime if its vapor pressure is higher than the applied pressure as it is heated. You will not observe melting behavior. 3.If you want to sublime a solid that has a vapor pressure of 50 mm Hg, you can do this if you reduce the pressure, under vacuum, to below this value.

15. WWU -- Chemistry MIDTERM EXAMINATION Friday, February 10 th 2:00 to 2:50 PM Distillation lab (Exp 6) is due Monday or Tuesday, depending on your section. Dr. Pavia will post answers to the questions in the post lab on his bulletin board after Tuesday so you have them for the test on Friday!

19. WWU -- Chemistry Main Reaction

20. WWU -- Chemistry * Ideal stopping place There may be some ROH left in the ester

21. WWU -- Chemistry Why the extraction with NaHCO 3 ? Partly soluble In the ester Ionic substance now soluble in the aqueous phase

Recalculate the percentages of your data based on the alcohol and ester peaks. Round off the percentages: 4.3 % cyclopentanol 95.7% cyclopentyl acetate

24. WWU -- Chemistry We will not be using response factors for the esters Lab (assuming that they are 1.0). However, you may need to recalculate the data to give new areas if you have “extra” peaks that don’t belong. The example data in the previous slide can be used directly without doing calculations. The usual products include alkene from dehydration, unreacted alcohol and ester. Esters have the longest retention times, alkenes are lowest and unreacted alcohol is in the middle someplace! You will also be running the infrared spectrum of your product.

25. WWU -- Chemistry

26. Infrared spectroscopy and other material associated with the esters lab will be covered on February 17th
