    How Acetylsalicylic Acid was Discovered Acetylsalicylic Acid in its earliest form was a powder for the bark and leaves of the willow tree. Hippocrates‚ who lived sometime between 460 B.C. and 377 B.C‚ founded it. This “Miracle Drug” that was able to relieve pains was later looked into with further detail by Johann Buchner. He isolated a tiny amount of bitter tasting yellow‚ need- like crystals‚ and called salicin. By 1829 French Chemist Henri Leroux had improved the extraction procedure to

    Experiment # 3 Acetylsalicylic Acid Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to create and isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid from the substances salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then one will find the melting point to determine purity. Procedure: Make a hot bath. Weigh some salicylic acid and place in conical vial. Add .480mL of acetic anhydride and a drop of concentrated phosphoric acid. Drop in a magnetic spin vane and attach air condenser to vial. Partially submerge it in

    October 9‚ 2013 Partner(s): Acetylsalicylic Acid Synthesis Theory. This experiment was carried out to see how the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester‚ and to make aspirin. Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid occurs by protonation of carbonyl (C=O) group‚ and a nucleophilic attack of OH on the acetic anhydride. The ferric chloride test and melting point were used to test the purity of the results. A hypothesized recovery rater of above

    Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the

    What is acetylsalicylic acid? Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)‚ or more commonly known as aspirin‚ is a medication that can be used for pain‚ fevers‚ and inflammation. It can be used for long periods of time‚ in small amounts‚ to prevent heart attacks‚ strokes and the formation of blood clots. A heart attack victim can be given a low dose right after the ordeal to reduce the risk of another one. Side effects of this drug is ulcers‚ internal bleeding (stomach) and ringing in the ears. These mainly happen

    Preparation of Acetylsalicylic Acid Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid was prepared using salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. As a result‚ a white‚ powdery substance was formed (0.1931g‚ percent yield 91.30%) and was defined by melting point (124.5 – 134.5°C) and observation of color change with ferric chloride. Introduction Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is one of the most popular analgesic drugs on the market today. It also acts as an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug. Salicylic acid itself was

    Tecson Gamido‚ Mitchiko Mariel M. Mizukami Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid‚ or also known as aspirin is known to be a drug that relives people of pain and is commonly used even today. It is synthesized from salicylic acid and ethanoic anhydride‚ both of small quantities. Phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst in the synthesis to speed up the process. Esterification is involved and the final product is aspirin with the presence of acetic acid as the byproduct. In order to create the powder form of
