Simple extraction

The observation of hidden reactions during solvolysis, through the use of chiral or isotopically labeled substrates has created considerable excitement in communities interested in the mechanisms of nonenzymatic and enzyme catalyzed reactions. These hidden reactions reveal something interesting about reaction mechanisms. However, chemists and biochemists are still working on the problem of extracting simple and definitive conclusions from analysis of data for these isomerization reactions. 

EXTRACTIONS. Simple partition between two phases can add another valuable piece of information about the sample. A gas chromatographic analysis before and after extraction indicates the character of the components present. For example, carboxylic acids are readily separated from phenolic compounds by extracting a nonaqueous solution of the sample with dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The carboxylic acids are almost completely transferred to the aqueous phase, whereas the phenolic constituents remain in the organic layer. Additional information on extractants for specific classes can be found in most organic analysis textbooks or inferred from solubility tables. 

In this section, we review the statistical mechanical approach to the problem of the folding of long polymer chains. From the standpoint of physics, considerable efforts have been made to extract simple and universal laws of biopolymers behavior regardless of their complexity and diversity. This leads...

The commonly used extraction techniques for organotins are mechanical shaking, ultrasonic extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, or pressurized fluid extraction. Simple mechanical shaking has been used by many testing laboratories, but this has been generally shown to be less effective than the latter three techniques, particularly with respect to recoveries for monosubstituted species. One of the advantages of shaking or ultrasonication is that they...

Extraction in 20 vol. of ethanol as described above is likely to give the most complete recovery of all types of bile acids. Alkaline conditions favor extraction. Folch extraction has been used to get a simultaneous purification, and the conjugated bile acids are then found in the upper phase (20). A different type of extraction is that described by Hofmann, who used a liquid anion exchanger, tetraheptylammonium chloride (21). This was added to bile and the salts formed with bile acids could be quantitatively extracted with ethyl acetate. The use of this solvent makes the evaporation of bile extracts simple. The amine can be removed with a cation exchanger, a procedure first described by Anderson (22). 

The global point of view is completely different. Here we try to omit the details of the chain structure as much as possible and to extract simple, universal, features which will remain true for a large class of polymer chains. An example will make this statement more precise Consider a dilute solution of separate coils in a good solvent. The radius of gyration of one coil Rg depends on the degree of polymerization, N, and we know from Flory that... 

One of the most elegant and useful applications of computers in MS has been the capability to resolve overlapping GC peaks and subtract background spectra so that almost pure spectra of components are extracted. Simple algorithms are available that perform the operation in real time, but the extraction of good quality spectra requires sophisticated programming and hence takes longer 47).
