Question - I'm trying to work a separation scheme for 50% ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, 40% benzoin, and 10% 1,4-dibromobenzene. I was going to start with distillation to extract the ethyl 4-aminobenzoate because it has the lowest boiling point. Is there a good solvent I could use for this mixture to do distillation?
My next step would include an extraction hopefully using this solvent methylene chloride or diethyl ether to dissolve 1,4-dibromobenzene in an organic layer and then have the solution evaporated to leave behind the product. Would this be a logical step or am I missing something?
Any suggestion on creating an excellent separation scheme would be helpful thanks
Be supposed to answer all parts thus I can get five stars
