Experiment #04: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil I. Introduction and Purpose Until 1874 commercial salicylic acid was synthesized entirely from natural wintergreen oil. In this experiment the salicylic acid is reproduced using methyl salicylate‚ the major constituent of wintergreen oil and later compared to salicylic acid made from benzene. The purpose of this lab is to determine the difference between salicylic acid made from methyl salicylate and salicylic acid made from benzene

EXPERIMENT 4: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to take methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) and by heating it under reflux with NaOH as a solvent‚ and then cooling the mixture with H2SO4 as another solvent‚ synthesize salicylic acid. The final step involves purify the product to produce as pure a sample of salicylic acid as possible. This process allowed for the successful production of 1.406g salicylic acid‚ an 82.70% yield.

objective of the experiment was to prepare Benzilic acid by multistep synthesis starting with benzaldehyde. In this setup however‚ product of the first step‚ Benzoin‚ is provided thereby omitting the first step involving the conversion of benzaldehyde. For this experiment‚ the microscale techniques of reflux‚ crystallization‚ and melting-point determination were used. Utilizing these techniques a product yield of 93% for benzil and 57% for Benzilic acid was obtained‚ as well as a melting point range of

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

then I will see the temperature slope increase in the reaction with an increased concentration because with an increase of moles‚ the particles will be colliding more often‚ therefore increasing the probability that the proper energy and alignment will occur to create more collisions in the same amount of time. Methods: List of Materials: • 110 mL of NaOH at 1 M (10 mL per run) • 110 mL of NaOH at 0.5 M (10 mL per run) • 220 mL of Acetic Acid at 50% (10 mL per run). • Vernier Temperature Probe.
