Interpreting data from product analysis requires a good understanding of the techniques used and the reaction being studied. Key points to consider include:
Peak Identification: In chromatographic techniques, each peak corresponds to a different compound. Identifying these peaks accurately is crucial. Quantification: Determining the concentration of each product helps in calculating yield and selectivity. Comparison with Standards: Using known standards can help in identifying and quantifying unknown compounds. Data Correlation: Correlating data from different techniques (e.g., GC-MS, HPLC-NMR) can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the products.
