Broun colour to white powder how to purification which solvent
Answers
Answer:
The compound is dissolved in a solvent, the solution is filtered to remove the insoluble impurities, and the solvent evaporated to produce the solid compound. The insoluble impurities are left behind in the filter paper. Colored impurities can be removed in a similar way but with an additional step.

This contribution describes a general method for the purification of solvents for use with air and moisture sensitive reactions. This procedure provides a nonhazardous alternative to distillations and vacuum transfers and does not require undue supervision or cooling, yet allows for the rapid collection of large quantities of extremely pure solvents on demand. Solvents are rigorously degassed in 18 L reservoirs and passed through two sequential purification columns. Protic contaminants are removed with activated alumina, while a supported copper catalyst is used to remove trace oxygen from hydrocarbons. The purification system is interfaced with either a glove box or Schlenk manifold for the anhydrous/anaerobic collection of solvents. Solvents purified by this method and tested with stock solutions of sodium benzophenone ketyl or titanocene dichloride/zinc dust are free of oxygen at least to the ppm level. Furthermore, this system may be used for the in-line purification of gases and is easily scaled down to provide a convenient method for the purification of deuterated solvents or other reagent
