I used Diethyl ether (20mL x3) as my TLC solvent

Critical Analysis (10 points) 1. How does sodium 2-phenylphenolate react with acid and/or base? Draw the acid-base reaction (with arrow pushing) you used to isolate this compound. 2. Recall that TLC functions as it does because compounds can either interact with the stationary phase (i.e., silica gel) or the mobile phase (i.e., solvent). Draw a picture that shows the Interactions between 2-phenylphenol and silica gel; and 2-phenylphenol and the TLC solvent. Silica gel is best described as particles of SiO with silanol (Si-OH) groups on the surface
