An organic chemistry laboratory Extraction; the extraction of crude naphtalene- benzoic acid mixture. Naphthalene is a suspect carcinogen and is toxic to aquatic life. Find an alternative pair of molecules that adhere better to the principles of green chemistry and can be separated by extraction using green' solvents. (kindly answer fully)
In the workup of the grignard reaction of turning bromobenzene to benzoic acid, we start by mixing the grignard with HCl and diethyl ether. We discard the aqueous layer and wash the organic layer with water. Then, the organic layer is extracted with NaOH. Then, the extracts are heated to remove ether. Then, it is precipitated with HCl. Precipitate collected. Let it dry and finally, purified with toluene and hexanes. Please make a flowchart of the process of this workup indicating what products and byproducts are forming. And what compounds are in the aqueous layer and organic layer in the steps.
