What solvent does one think is could to take up organics, but not a carboxylic acid with a alcohol moiety?  My first though is Hexanes due to polarity??  Any thoughts??

Depends on what the impurities are. Are they more polar or less polar than your target compound?

You need something that will dissolve the impurities but not the product, or vice versa. This involves trial and error - without structural information I can't say which solvent I would try first.
