Experiment Four: Organic Synthesis of Aspirin Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a common organic product called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)‚ and to become familiar with the optimum conditions needed for successful yields. Aspirin is produced from an acid catalyzed reaction between salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The crystalline aspirin is synthesized and purified by recrystallization‚ although there is not a hundred percent yield due to sources of error. Introduction

concentration of total protein in human serum‚ a total protein assay was performed by using the Biuret reagent. Proteins react to this compound because it contains two amide bonds. When the Biuret reagents is introduced to a sample of protein‚ it forms a blue or violet complex. The concentration of albumin in human serum is determined by using the Bromocresol green (BCG) reagent. When albumin and the BCG reagent are combined‚ the solution turns into a blue-green complex. Albumin and globulin are protein components

a framework for evaluating different chemistries‚ and an ideal to strive for in new reaction chemistry (1‚2‚3). Green Chemistry Principle: Atom Economy Atom economy means maximizing the incorporation of material from the starting materials or reagents into the final product. It is essentially pollution prevention at the molecular level. For example‚ a chemist practicing atom economy would choose to synthesize a needed product by putting together basic building blocks‚ rather than by breaking down

Free PSA (cost activity / object) is available on equipment that we currently use under a reagent rental agreement (we pay only for reagents‚ as the cost of the equipment is rolled into the cost of the reagents). The vendor has quoted a price of $8.00 per test (not $8.00 per billable test) for free PSA reagents. Issues to consider in evaluating the profitability of bringing the test ( Free PSA ) in house:1.Effect on direct cost. 2.Possible increase
