    schemes using Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) to isolate the compounds of pure Acetylsalicylic Acid/Aspirin and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Ethanimidate/Acetaminophen respectively from Excedrin. The first reaction scheme to undergo acid-base organic extraction was to isolate the most acidic compound in Excedrin with a weak base‚ K2HPO4. We isolated the aspirin using aqueous base extraction‚ with Dipotassium phosphate then treated with HCl to force acidification. The mechanism for Scheme

    Anhydride Figure 11.3. The balanced chemical reaction of the formation of aspirin. Because the reaction is slow in pure acetic anhydride‚ the catalyst‚ commonly strong acids like phosphoric acid was used for the reaction. According to Le Chatelier’s principle‚ the presence of excess acetic anhydride forces the equilibrium towards the desired product‚ which in this case is the aspirin. In addition to this‚ the catalysts were also used to ensure that side reactions‚ which may

    ! Isolation of the Components of BC Powder Introduction Aspirin‚ Caffeine and Salicylamide were extracted from an over-the-counter pain reliever (BC Powder). These components were separated by manipulating their solubilities by adjusting the acidity and basicity of the solution. By doing this‚ the three components were forced into conjugate acid (or base) forms‚ causing selective solubility in either an aqueous or organic solvent. These layers were then separated by use of a separation funnel
