TLC, a powerful analytical tool, can be used to monitor the progress of reactions. The synthesis of ethyl-3-coumarincarboxylate can be monitored by TLC by displaying the starting aldehyde 1, and coumarin product 2, which have very distinct Rf values (Hint: Think about the polarity of compounds 1 and 2 in terms of their abilities to H-bonds to silica gel). What can be determine about the progress of the reaction from analysis of the TLC shown below?
