EXERCISE 11 SYNTHESIS OF ASPIRIN MARAVILLA‚ Ana Mikaela B Group 4 CHEM 40.1 1L Date performed: September 30‚ 2013 Date submitted: October 7‚ 2013 VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Aspirin is prepared by the esterification of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride under acidic conditions. The phenol group in salicylic acid is replaced by a carboxyl group through electrophilic substitution. The mechanism for the reaction can be summarized

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

Greaves Chem3301-112 June 19‚ 2013 Synthesis of Aspirin from Methyl Salicylate Introduction The synthesis of Aspirin (Acetyl Salicyclic Acid) began with methyl salicylate and sodium hydroxide as the reagent. The polar oxygen accepts the electrons from now positively charged hydrogen. The positively charged sodium disassociates leaving the hydroxide ion with a negative Scheme 1 shows the mechanisms that were demonstrated during the synthesis of Aspirin. charge that attracts to the positively charged

aspirin Intro- Aspirin is known as a pain reliever for muscle ache‚ head ache and can prevent heart attacks as well as blood clots‚ and many more things that it can help with. Aspirin is known as Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a Salicylate. Salicylates are organic acids from plants that people for hundreds of years have been used for pain reducing. Salicylic acid irritates the stomach when consumed so German scientist Felix Hoffman suggested ASA as an alternative. Aspirin is made when Acetic Anhydride

1. Aim To determine the percentage of aspirin in different commercial preparations and to find which is the best value for money 2. Hypothesis The greater the percentage of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in the tablet‚ more powerful and efficient the aspirin would be due to the way aspirin works in human’s body. Aspirin is often used to alleviate the pain‚ and the sensation of pain is mainly attributed to a chemical substance called prostaglandins‚ which is responsible to send a strong signal

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

History Of Aspirin Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world.. For centuries people throughout the world. Aspirin was discovered about 3500 years ago. A collection of 877 medicinal recipes‚ The Ebers papyrus‚ before Christ‚ from the middle of the second millennium had been bought during the last century from an Egyptian street vendor by Georg Ebers‚ a German Egyptologist Georg. He recommended an infusion of dried myrtle leaves for rheumatic and back pain. More than a

Letter derives from Latin littera‚ which may have derived‚ via Etruscan‚ from the Greek "διφθέρα" (writing tablet).[1] The Middle English plural lettres could refer to an epistle or written document‚ reflecting the use of the Latin plural litteræ. Use of the singular letter to refer to a written document emerged in the 14th century. As symbols that denote segmental speech‚ letters are associated with phonetics.

1. A physician forgets to tell a patient about the risk of combining a prescribed drug with aspirin and the patient takes two aspirin for a headache: In this scenario the extend of liability depends on the drug being prescribed‚ if the drug is dispensing in generic form with no warnings‚ then the physician could be considered liable‚ however it is still possible to make the argument that the patient would have been proactive about potential contraindications‚ and consult the dispensing pharmacy
