submitted: October 7‚ 2013 VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Aspirin is prepared by the esterification of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride under acidic conditions. The phenol group in salicylic acid is replaced by a carboxyl group through electrophilic substitution. The mechanism for the reaction can be summarized as follows: Figure 11.4. Mechanism for the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) In this experiment‚ 85% phosphoric acid (H3PO4)

Sulphonation – The Process Most electrophilic substitution reactions are irreversible but sulfonation is an exception. Treatment of benzene with "oleum" (a solution of SO3 in concentrated sulfuric acid) will give the sulfonic acid‚ the electrophilic species being sulfur trioxide which is Lewis acidic. Fig – 1 Sulphonation : Benzene equation The sulfonic acid can be converted back by treatment with hot aqueous acid. The reason for this reversibility is the fact that the Wheland intermediate is overall

both Benzanilide and Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate. Benzanilide was synthesised using The Schotten Baumann reaction which takes a hydrogen atom from an amino group and substitutes it for an acyl group. For Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate‚ NO2+ was used as an electrophilic reagent to replace an aromatic hydrogen atom. Then both chemicals were purified by first determining appropriate recrystallisation solvent‚ before analysing Benzanilide and Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate as well as 2

The substance is made up of an organic group joined by a high polar covalent bond to magnesium‚ while magnesium is joined by an ionic bond to a halogen (like bromide) a gringard reagent will react with water‚ oxygen or almost any other electrophilic organic compound to produce alcohols‚ which makes it important in laboratories. Organometallic reagents are strong bases that readily abstract a proton from H2O to form hydrocarbons because H2O is a stronger acid than the alkane product of the

Objective: The benefit of this lab was to acquaint oneself with the fundamentals of the Aldol Condensation reaction by demonstrating the synthesis of dibenzalacetone (trans‚ trans-1‚5-Diphenyl-1‚4-pentadien-3-one) through the aldol condensation of acetone with benzaldehyde. The synthesis began by using a strong base to generate the acetone enolate ion. The ketone/enol tautomerization is an equilibrium process that produces little of the enol (ppm or less). However‚ any enol that formed quickly reacted
