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.

Introduction This lab’s purpose was to determine whether Salicylic Acid made from methyl salicylate is the same as Salicylic Acid made from benzene. This information can be found by comparing the difference in melting points of the two samples of Salicylic Acid. Here are the physical properties of Salicylic Acid and the mechanism of reactions that occurred in this lab. How Salicylic Acid is derived: Procedure/Results First‚ .26mL of 2.0mmol methyl Salicylate was measured and put

While MDMA is unlikely to be used as a primary source of treatment for mental disorders‚ recent research has evaluated it’s utility as an adjunct to psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD. To evaluate the effects of MDMA-assisted therapy for the treatment of resistant and chronic PTSD‚ Oehen‚ Traber‚ Widmer and Schnyder (2013) conducted a pilot study to test the safety and efficacy of this treatment. First‚ Oehen et al. (2013) briefly outlined a current neurocircuitry model for PTSD. Oehen

I. INTRODUCTION Synthesis Acetylsalicylic acid is an acetyl derivative of salicylic acid which appears as a white and crystalline and a weakly acidic substance with a melting point of 135°C and is also known to be aspirin. It is one of the most widely used drugs that can lower fever and is used as a painkiller. According to (Escobel‚ 2011)‚ Aspirin is synthesized through the reaction of salicylic acid with acetyl anhydride that causes a chemical reaction that turns salicylic acid’s hydroxyl group
