Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

we had to save time and cut some days out. We were able to do this by being given our own Salicylic acid (SA) prepared for us instead of having to used wintergreen to make it and recrystallize it. In addition‚ we skipped the qualitative test of our purity for SA and Aspirin (ASA). The first part of this experiment is the preparation of ASA from SA were‚ we prepared our aspirin from the collected salicylic acid. A screw-capped vial was weighed empty to 29.7416 grams and filled with SA. The mass recorded

Separation of a Carboxylic Acid from a Neutral Compound by Extraction Reference: Smith‚ Chapter 2 (Acids and Bases) Introduction Carboxylic acids and phenols are two families of organic compounds that contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ and also react with water to yield an excess of hydronium ions over hydroxide ions. Pure water has a pH of 7‚ which means it has a hydronium ion concentration‚ [H3O+] of 10-7 M (M = molarity‚ moles/Liter). The hydronium ions in pure water come from the self-ionization

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

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 comparing

Extraction of R’-NH2 For both of the organic acid and organic base extraction‚ the addition of the respective inorganic acid or inorganic base (HCl or NaOH) to the three-component mixture caused an immiscible appearance of the solution in the separatory funnel. By briskly shaking the separatory funnel with the mixed components created a build up of pressure which was released through the stopcock forming small disappearing bubbles within the tip of the separatory funnel. Once the funnel was placed

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. The NMR and

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
