The achieved results in this seminar and the upcoming relevant project are owing to undeniable helps and support of Zakaria Pharmaceutical Co.'s CEO Mr. Ramezanzadeh & my colleagues in R&D sector, mainly the R&D director Dr. Jassouri.
In clarifying my viewpoints on the project and on making a better literature work for the present seminar I strongly benefited from the helps of Dr. Sarrafzadeh and Dr. Yegani, to whom I shall always be grateful.

Introduction

The present seminar is a brief overview of the theoretical studies, toward implementing the industrial bioproduction plant in Zakaria Pharmaceuticals Co. The whole executive results will soon be handed over as the fellow student's MSc. Project.

Shikimic Acid & its Natural Properties

(3R, 4S, 5R)- (−)-3, 4, 5-Trihydroxy-1-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid

Shikimic acid, more commonly known as its anionic form shikimate, is an important biochemical intermediate in plants and microorganisms. Its name comes from the Japanese flower

    First, Ethanoic acid was added to the salicylic acid which resulted in a cloudy solution. When adding a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid, which acted as a catalyst, effervescence transpired and some of the salicylic acid dissolved. Thereafter, the solution was swirled causing the solution to turn cloudy-white. It was then heated on a steam bath for a period of 15 minutes after which the solution had become clear and the solid had fully dissolved. The solution was left to cool until it reached room temperature during which crystallization occurred then 75 cm3 of distilled water was added. This caused a solid product to precipitate out which was then collected by vacuum filtration using a Buchner funnel. The solid was the crude product which released a noticeable smell of vinegar.…

    Before the synthetic aspirin of today, salicylic acid, which is the important ingredient found in aspirin, was extracted naturally from methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen oil, which could be found in certain plants. The purpose of this lab experiment is to prepare salicylic acid from the natural starting material, methyl salicylate, and compare it with the salicylic acid produced from the artificial compound benzene (obtained through petroleum refining). Based on the two reactions of aspirin synthesis shown below, methyl salicylate and benzene share a common intermediate which is salicylic acid:…

    In this lab, caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate, potassium n-butylmalonate, and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material, n-bromobutane, and the first intermediate, diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product, caproic acid.…

    Commonly used as Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid is an analgesic (pain reliever), which is one of the products of the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. This esterification occurs since the hydroxyl group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester. In this experiment, we will be able to recreate this acid catalyzed reaction, using sulfuric acid as our catalyst in order to produce acetylsalicylic acid and acetic acid. The final product of this reaction will be some crystals, which will be mainly composed of acetylsalicylic acid. In order to purify our products, we will have to add water to our crystals so that the acetylsalicylic acid can be dissociated from impurities. Using a technique called vacuum filtration, crystals will be held on a filtration paper while the liquid portion of reagents will drained into an Erlenmeyer flask.…

    Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath, the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes, to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing. The purpose of this procedure is to isolate acetylsalicylic acid from its accompanied acid catalyst, unreacted salicylic acid, acetic anhydride, and other impurities. Their removal can be done by crystallization, a purification technique in which, upon cooling, product crystals will be separated from impurities that are present in the solution, which can then be filtered off using a vacuum. In this procedure, acetic anhydride is used to wash the reactants, and phosphoric acid is used as a catalyst to…

    Citric acid is a White solid,C3H4OH(COOH)3,soluble in water and slightly soluble in organic solvents, which melts at 153 oC. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are slightly more acidic than solutions of acetic acid. Traces of citric acid are found in numerous plants and animals, because it is a nearly universal intermediate product of metabolism. Large amount of the acid are found in the juice of citrus fruits, from which it is precipitated by the addition of lime; the resulting calcium citrate is treated with sulfuric acid to regenerate the citric acid. Fermentation of sugar by the mold Aspergillus niger is the chief commercial source of the acid. It is added to some foods and beverages to produce pleasant acid flavor; It is also used in medicines, in making blueprint paper, in textile printing, and as a polishing agents for metals.…
