Abstract:: My research is based on an article published in The Journal of Organic Chemistry(J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 10624-10628)about a new innovative method of synthesizing terpyridine. The proposed new method is a one-step reaction that takes up to 7 days, followed by sublimation to purify the product. My input to this project was to try and find a different way to purify the product without using sublimation. So far I have managed to actually synthesize the desired products,come up with a desired solvent system for thin layer chromatography(TLC), column chromatography and prep-thin layer chromatography(Prep-TLC). I have also analyzedmy results using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopyand high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). I have also found a promising method to crystalizing the product.
