I isolated a compound from a Plant; this compound has a very poor solubility in different solvents; is it possible to characterise the structure of such compound; if yes, by which technique?
First thing to do is To purificat the compound then for the solobility, try A littel amount of your compund in DMSO or pyridine then use nmr and masse spectra for the identification
As per my opinion only soluble matter will work for spectroscopic study. Either you should find out the solvent in which your compound has higher solubility or you have to use only soluble matter for the identification. For this, you will require more quantity of your isolated compound.
