Caffeine can be prepared in the lab through various synthetic methods, with one common approach being the methylation of theobromine. This involves reacting theobromine with a methylating agent, such as dimethyl sulfate or methyl iodide, in the presence of a base like potassium carbonate. The reaction typically takes place under controlled conditions to ensure proper yield and purity. After the reaction, caffeine can be purified through recrystallization or chromatography.
