Question

If there was another spot on the TLC plate, what would be that other spot assuming all starting material was consumed? at what stage of the workup do we separate this biproduct from triphenylmethanol?

Answer 1

The other spot that would be assuming all starting material was consumed are drop or splash an organic compound on the plate.

When we pour a petroleum on the solid mixture. It will mixed the biphenyl but not the triphenylmethanol and this causes separation.
