1. Should the chromatography serve to purify the sample?

2. Explain the formation of isomer

Transcribed Image Text:

Post-Lab Discussion/Analysis 1. Compare the TLC plates for the crude sample and the sample that was purified by column chromatography. Did chromatography serve to purify the sample? Explain any conflicting results. 2. Interpret your experimental data to determine which diacetylferrocene isomer (if any) forms. Use your knowledge of the mechanism and theory of electrophilic aromatic substitution to explain the formation of this isomer. - Fe 1,2-Diacetylferrocene (red) 270.1 g/mol mp=96-97°C Fe 1,3-Diacetylferrocene (red) 270.1 g/mol mp=187-188°C Fe 1, 1'-Diacetylferrocene (red) 270.1 g/mol mp=127-127.5°C Post-Lab Discussion/Analysis 1.
