Title: Experiment 28: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objective: The students will learn to nitrate methyl benzoate through electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. They will learn the importance of regiochemistry in chemical reactions. They might experience disubstitution through a high temperature. Reactions: Observation: The crystals started to form when added 2 g of crushed ice. The addition of hot methanol dissociated the crystals. The crystals reappeared when cooled down in

Jennie K. Daniels Organic Chemistry 2121 11 February 2014 Synthesis of Aspirin Salicylic acid derivatives‚ or salicin‚ are found in the bark of the willow tree. In the 5th century B.C.‚ Hippocrates ground the bark into a powder‚ and later‚ the Natives Americans chewed on the bark to alleviate fever and pain1. In the 19th century‚ a German chemist by the name of Felix Hoffman wanted to find a medication that would ease

Synthesis of Aspirin Name: Xuanyi Li Teaching assistant: Deirdre Zwilling November 15‚ 2009 Purpose: To synthesize aspirin‚ a common analgesic drug‚ via nucleophilic acid-catalyzed substitution reaction of salicyclic acid with acetic anhydride. The whole reaction is catalyzed by phosphoric acid. (The experiment involved three parts: The synthesis of aspirin‚ the isolation and purification of aspirin‚ and the estimation of the purity of the final product.) [pic] Procedure[1]: A mixture

Recrystallization of Methyl 3-nitrobenzoate Santiago Horta‚ Daniella I School of Chemistry and Biochemistry‚ Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta‚ GA 30332 Submitted: 18 February 2015 In this experiment‚ the product of a nitration will be purified by recrystallization using a selected solvent. Methyl benzoate is treated with nitric acid and sulfuric acid to obtain methyl 3-benzoate‚ which will be mixed with a solvent that will dissolve the product at its boiling temperature but not at

Lab Report Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) The Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid). Summary: In this experiment‚ we produced 4.21 g of acetylsalicylic acid. Our theoretical yield was calculated to be 5.22 g. Therefore our % yield was determined to be 80.6%. The experimental boiling point range of acetylsalicylic acid was found to be 130-132° C. The true melting point of acetylsalicylic acid is 135° C‚ therefore our percent

Synthesis of Methyl Salicylate from Aspirin Esters are a class of organic compounds. An ester compromises an organic or inorganic acid in which one or more hydroxy (OH) groups have been replaced by and alkoxy (O-alkyl) group. For example‚ the simplest ester‚ methyl formate (CHOOCH3)‚ is made up of formic acid (CHO-OH) in which the hydroxyl group has been replaced by a methoxy group (-OCH3). Similarly‚ ethyl acetate (CH3CO-OCH2CH3) is made up of acetic acid (CH3CO-OH) in which the hydroxy group
