must be discovered. Panacetin tablets are known to contain aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ and sucrose; therefore‚ the tablets tested‚ containing aspirin and sucrose‚ are thought to contain an unknown of something similar to that of acetaminophen such as acetanilide or phenacetin. Another problem trying to be sought out in the experiments is whether or not the composition of Panacetin as stated on the label is accurate. The experiment involved the separation of the unknown from the Panacetin by first isolating

Nitration of Acetanilide Introduction When organic compounds are nitrated it changes the composition and reaction of the compounds.[4] We could benefit from these changes‚ nitration of acetanilide produces a product called p- Nirtoanoline. P-Nitroaniline is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes‚ antioxidants‚ pharmaceuticals and gasoline. P-Nitroaniline is also used in gum inhibitors‚ poultry medicines and as a corrosion inhibitor. [2] Nitration is a type of chemical

Chung (Vincent) Lab Partner: Ma‚ Siyin Date: 2/3/2013 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of compounds in Panacetin. Generally‚ it is made up of sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown component‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. SinceBy using different techniques‚ such as filtration‚ extraction‚ and evaporation‚ those three components have been isolated out‚ which is based on varies solubility and acid-based properties. The percentage of composition of Panacetin

We suspect that this unknown compound is either acetanilide or phenacetin‚ both of which can be toxic to humans. It is very important that this component is identified so that no one unknowingly takes the “Panacetin” and becomes ill or dies. This whole experiment is based on purifying and then finding

to be present in your sample of Panacetin (aspirin‚ acetanilide‚ and starch)‚ only starch is insoluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (or methylene chloride)‚ CH2 Cl2. If a sample of Panacetin is dissolved as completely as possible in dichloromethane‚ the insoluble starch can be filtered out‚ leaving acetanilide and aspirin in solution. The purpose of this experiment is to extract the components of Panacetin. Although the acetanilide and aspirin are both quite insoluble in water at room

last part of the experiment I observed the melting point of Unknown E. After finding the melting point of Unknown E‚ I used 2-Chloroacetemide with a known melting point between 116-118 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I also took Acetanilide with a known melting point of 114.4 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I then observed these melting points to try and determine the identity of Unknown E. Results: Our first known was 100 % Biphenyl. We did three trials. The following

Introduction:The purpose of this lab was to determine the activating effect of aniline‚ phenol‚ anisole and acetanilide after reacting with pyridinum tribromide in order to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution. The melting point of the isolated products were measured against the standards in order to determine how strong of an ortho/para activator the compound was based on the product(s) and melting point obtained. Theory: Electrophilic aromatic substitution is an organic reaction that takes

Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was
