Procedure for Trirnyristin 1. Weigh a 1-dram vial that has a Teflon-lined cap. Place approximately 200 mg of nutmeg in the vial, and weigh again. A weighed sample in a vial will he on display so that you can see about how much nutmeg to add. 2. Use the calibrated Pasteur oinet in the hood next to the diethvl ether container to add 2.00 mL hfdiethyl ether to the vial. 3. Cap the vial tightly, and shakr the mixture for 15 min. Your hand will heat the wal t u nrar the hoilrng point of diethyl ether. 4. Cool the closed vial in cold running tap water. 5. Pack a Pasteur pipet with a lowe wad of cotton, 2 rnm of sand, and 1 cm of anhydrous sodium sulfate. See part a of the figure. Clamp the packed pipet to a ring stand. 6. In a hood, cautiously open the vial. With a clean Pasteur pipet, transfer the contents of the vial to the packed Pasteur pipet, and let the solution drip through the packing into a clean vial. Rinse the packing with 0.5 mL of clean diethyl ether. 7. In a hood, attach a piece of rubber tubing with a Pasteur pipet at one end to the air jet. Gently blow away the solvent. This process should take about 5 min. If the air is flowing too fast, you will blow the whole mixture into the hood, so be careful. 8. Add 0.5 mL of acetone to the residue in the vial. In a hot sand bath. swirl the acetone mixture until the residue has iust dissolved. l&&e the vial from the heat and rap it. Let the vial stand for 10 mi" at n,om temperature and then in ice for 5 mm. 9. Collect your now-whitesolid in a Hirsch funnel. Then transfer it to a clean weighed vial. 10. Weigh. Determine the melting point. Procedure far Cholesterol 1. Place 100 mg of crushed gallstones in a clean, weighed 1-dram vial equipped with a Teflon cap liner. 2.
