SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the sublimation of compound 1, which has a melting point of 175-177°C, from compound 2 with a melting point of 206-208°C at 120°C under atmospheric pressure. The melting point of the crystals is noted to be between 150-160°C. Participants emphasize the importance of knowing the chemical structure of the compounds involved and suggest preliminary techniques such as recrystallization, titration, or chromatography to clarify the process before attempting sublimation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sublimation processes in organic chemistry
  • Knowledge of melting point determination and its significance
  • Familiarity with recrystallization techniques
  • Basic principles of chromatography and titration methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research sublimation techniques for organic compounds
  • Learn about recrystallization methods for purifying solids
  • Study the principles of chromatography for compound separation
  • Explore titration techniques for analyzing compound purity
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, organic chemists, and laboratory technicians involved in compound purification and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

I am wondering if this would work:

I need to sublimate compound 1 (mp 175-177 C) from compound 2 (206-208 C) at 120 C at atmospheric pressure. Crystals are found and the solids melting point is 150-160 C.

Could anyone help me? I am not completely clear.

Virtually impossible to tell without structure or description of your compound. It is mostly likely organic with a low MP like those. You haven't tried recrystallization, titruation, or chromatography first?
