Work-up
In chemistry, work-up refers to the series of manipulations required to isolate and purify the product of a chemical reaction. Typically, these manipulations may include: ⁕quenching a reaction to deactivate any unreacted reagents ⁕cooling the reaction mixture or adding an antisolvent to induce precipitation, and collecting or removing the solids by filtration, decantation, or centrifugation ⁕removal of solvents by evaporation ⁕separating the reaction mixture into organic and aqueous layers by liquid-liquid extraction ⁕purification by chromatography, distillation or recrystallization For example, in the Grignard reaction between phenylmagnesium bromide and carbon dioxide in the form of dry ice gives the conjugate base of benzoic acid. The desired product, benzoic acid, is obtained by the following work-up: ⁕The reaction mixture containing the Grignard reagent is allowed to warm to room temperature in a water bath to allow excess dry ice to evaporate ⁕Any remaining Grignard reagent is quenched by the addition of water ⁕Dilute hydrochloric acid is added to the reaction mixture to protonate the benzoate salts, as well as to dissolve the magnesium salts. White solids of impure benzoic acid are obtained.
