Solvent selection for recrystallization is a critical step in the purification of organic compounds. The solvent must be able to dissolve the impure compound at elevated temperatures and then allow the compound to crystallize upon cooling. The choice of solvent is also important for the efficiency of the recrystallization process and the quality of the…

Solvent selection for recrystallization is a critical step in the purification of solid compounds. The ideal solvent should dissolve the impurities but not the desired product, allowing for selective crystallization of the target compound. Several factors must be considered when choosing a solvent for recrystallization, including the solubility of the compound, the selectivity of the…
