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

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.

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 the melting

IDENTIFICATION OF THE KEY ISSUES 1. Oil piracy Approximately 1% of local production of crude palm oil‚ i.e. 0.18 million metric tonnes valued at RM325 million are lost annually to these oil pirates. The culprits involved in siphoning the crude palm oil and selling them to syndicates are tanker drivers‚ depot operators and transporters. Generally‚ 100 to 200 litres of crude palm oil are siphoned off from each tanker. The amount is replaced with liquid such as water‚ used oil or sludge which can

Run Away from Oil – Not even Trump can Save the Oil Industry Millions of people displaced‚ starving‚ and fighting each other to survive. This is the future of humanity in a world ravaged by climate change’s effects. Without taking action‚ powerful storms‚ droughts‚ and food shortages will only grow more severe; experts predict that 250 million will flee their countries by 2050. Sea levels will rise by almost two feet‚ flooding major coastal cities and leaving millions without access to food‚ water

The importance of oil to the modern world is unique in character and incredibly far-reaching in scope. It is a singularly autonomous variable in the world economy‚ just as‚ if not more potent and influential than Federal Reserve decisions‚ the Euro-Dollar exchange rate‚ conditions in the U.S or stock market indexes. Oil availability and price affect the output capacity‚ rate of growth and level of inflation throughout the world. In the modern world‚ oil affects transportation‚ heating‚ production
