Level 3 – Liquid Chromatography, the Larger Scale of TLC – Predicting Order of Eluents Four compounds were combined and added onto a silica gel column with a mobile phase of Dichloromethane (DCM). The compounds were: I: PropanolII: CyclohexeneIII: 3-amino-hexanoic acidIV: Acetic acid Predict the compounds elution order from first to elute to last to elute (ordered left to right below).
