How do you break down caffeine?

There are many different methods to remove the caffine. one way is below, it is a long process and not easy. It would be much easier to just buy decaf at your local market.In the direct method the coffee beans are first steamed for 30 minutes and then repeatedly rinsed with either methylene chloride or ethyl acetate for about 10 hours. The solvent is then drained away and the beans steamed for an additional 10 hours to remove any residual solvent. Sometimes coffees decaffeinated using ethyl acetate are referred to as naturally processed because ethyl acetate can be derived from various fruits or vegetables. However for the purpose of decaffeination it is not generally possible to create such a large quantity of ethyl acetate, thus the chemical is synthetically derived.WOW Gouch53 you are a brainiact i didn't even know you could.-Lovestinks10


Is ethyl acetate a good solvent for using TLC plates?

Ethyl acetate is generally a good solvent for TLC.  It is more polar than hexanes, but less so than acetone, alcohols, acids, and water.  If you are doing a reaction for the first time and have no idea what solvent system to use for TLC, varying ratios of hexanes:ethyl acetate is always a good starting point (try 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2. 1:3, etc).


Why it is more useful to make ethyl acetate with acetic acid and alcohol rather than using other compounds like ketene alcohol or acetamide alcohol?

because it does not react in acetic acid


What is Rf value of o-nitroaniline?

The Rf value will vary some depending on the exact conditions. Using a silica plate and a moderately polar solvent (dichloromethane or a mixture of toluene/ethyl acetate) you will get an Rf of 0.4-0.5.


How do you make a 3M HCl solution in Ethyl acetate?

To make ethyl acetate, react ethanol with ethanoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid. Another method is by preparing industrially using the Tishchenko reaction by combining two equivalents of acetaldehyde in the presence of an alkoxide catalyst.


Are the chemicals used to decaffeinate coffee toxic?

There are three methods involved in decaffeinating coffee. They are using chemical solvents, carbon dioxide and Swiss water method. Chemicals used in chemical solvents are ethyl acetate and methylene chloride.

What is the RF value for paracetamol?

That depends on many factors including the elution solvent used, the type of TLC plate used, etc.. When using .5% of acetic acid in ethyl acetate as your elution solvent and on a plastic backed plate, the Rf-value should be around 79.82%
