In the following procedure, we are performing an extraction with ethyl acetate. What compounds are we separating from our product? Procedure: After cooling to about 30 to 40 °C, evaporate the solvent on a rotary evaporator. Add 6 mL of water and 15 mL of ethyl acetate to dissolve the residue. Transfer the liquid into a separatory funnel, shake vigorously, and separate the layers. The aqueous layer is extracted once more with 15 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts (~ 30 mL ethyl acetate solution) are dried with Sodium sulfate, and the solvent is evaporated in a tared beaker (the solvent evaporates until the next lab session in your locker). A pale yellow oil or a solid is obtained. Record the amount of crude product obtained for your lab report.
