Between the moving from the crude product to the recrystallized product, there is a 50% loss product. This could potentially be improved because it shows that product was lost during the recrystallization process. Acetone as a solvent could be used to increase the percent yield. A solvent that has a higher boiling point would allow the product more time to cool and more time to recrystalize. Ethanol has an even higher boiling point than acetone and could also be used as a better solvent for recrystallization.
