Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil Objective – Preparation of salicylic acid (organic synthesis) from methyl salicylate utilizing previously used procedure from the nineteenth century. The final product will then be evaluated in comparison to salicylic acid made from benzene. Discussion – In this synthesis‚ methyl salicylate is the starting material or precursor and salicylic acid is the target product. It is the major constituent of wintergreen oil. The difference in structures

Extraction and Sublimation of Caffeine from Tea Leaves By: Ashley Barnes CH 236 – P8 Experiment 4 & 4.5 Due: 10/15/2014 Table 1. Table of Reagents Discussion The extraction yield refers to the percent of caffeine in the tea leaves at start of the extraction experiment. Tea leaves had 0.55 grams of mass per eight ounce serving. The weight of the extracted crude caffeine was 0.264 grams. Therefore‚ the extraction yield was 48%. This means that we pulled out almost half of the caffeine

Analysis of Hydrocarbons Jessa Grace B. Castillo* and Stephanie Chua Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines ______________________________________________ Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only hydrogen and carbons and further divided in major types. Hydrocarbons react differently in reagents. The basis of determining an unknown hydrocarbon is due to the differences in reactions of hydrocarbons. An unknown compound is determined using tests.

abilities and career goals‚ I have decided to pursue my graduate studies in the field of Chemistry. While my graduate study has helped me develop an insight into my intended area of specialization and the ability to relate developments in fundamental concepts to analytical chemistry‚ it still cannot support my desire for research and design. I therefore strongly believe that a detailed research chemistry from your university will be a step forward in achieving my objective of launching a career

I. Carbonyl Compounds‚ Enols and Enolates. Some of the most suitable reactions of carbonyl compounds contain carbon hydrogen bonds adjacent to the carbonyl group. Such reactions‚ which can be observed as the strength of much synthetic organic chemistry‚ usually result in the replacement of the hydrogen by some other atom or group‚ as in the H-C-C=O -+ X-C-C=O. Transformation of a carbonyl compound to an enol at a suitable rate typically needs either a basic catalyst or an acidic catalyst and
