The purpose of this research project was to analyze commonly used over-the-counter analgesic drugs using thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, and high-pressure liquid chromatography. The goal was to create a useful Organic Chemistry lab for students to perform in an effort to learn how to use these techniques. In addition to learning how to use these chromatography techniques, students will be able to identify similarities and differences between the techniques, as well as the molecular reasoning that explains the results of each run.
