08/02/2009 Synthesis of Acetyl salicylic acid (Aspirin) Abstract Introduction: The following report contains information on how to produce aspirin. The experiment has been carried out on a small laboratory scale. The experiment starts by combining such chemicals such as salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The synthesis of aspirin is classified as an esterification reaction. This is a substitution reaction where the alcohol group from salicylic acid reacts with ascetic anhydride to form an

Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

The conventional method was conducted by placing 2.0641 grams of salicylic acid in a dry 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. In a fume hood‚ 4 mL of acetic anhydride and 5 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to the flask. The contents were swirled in the flask and then heated for 20 minutes in a hot water bath. After the 20 minutes were up‚ 10 mL of cold water were added in 1 mL increments. The flask was cooled for 10 minutes and occasionally stirred. The crystals that formed were collected via filtration

Experimental Part 1: Reaction First the glassware apparatus for the reaction was set up. 3.861-grams of isoborneol‚ 2.21-mL of glacial acetic acid‚ and 4.39-mL of 6% NaOCl solution were mixed in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Another 35-mL of 6% NaOCl solution was added to a separatory funnel and supported over the flask. The NaOCl in the sep funnel was slowly added into the Erlenmeyer flask with vigorous swirling‚ approximately 2-mL every 30 seconds until all the NaOCl from the sep funnel had been

Vol. 1 ACETIC ACID 115 ACETIC ACID 1. Introduction Acetic acid [64-19-7]‚ CH3COOH‚ is a corrosive organic acid having a sharp odor‚ burning taste‚ and pernicious blistering properties. It is found in ocean water‚ oilfield brines‚ rain‚ and at trace concentrations in many plant and animal liquids. It is central to all biological energy pathways. Fermentation of fruit and vegetable juices yields 2–12% acetic acid solutions‚ usually called vinegar (qv). Any sugar-containing sap or juice can

Synthesis and Purification of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use
