High Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Aspirin Problem: Was aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) successfully synthesized? Are there impurities or by-products present in the synthesized aspirin? How pure is the synthesized aspirin? Introduction: In the last experiment‚ aspirin was synthesized followed by characterization of the product using several different techniques. Melting point was a test that provided information about the identity and purity of the aspirin product. The iron(III)chloride

Aspirin or acetylsalicylate acid is a compound that is widely used in medicine. The use of aspirin in medicine began long before the active reagent was removed from its natural source. The first documented use of aspirin was found in the writings of Hippocrates‚ the so called father of medicine. Hippocrates prescribed that willow bark could be used to remedy a wide range of conditions such as pain‚ fever and inflammation. Scientists began to seek to extract the active compound from willow tree bark

Synthesis of Aspirin Learning Goals 1. To synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. 2. To purify the crude product by Recrystallization. Introduction Most drugs are chemical compounds which are described as "organic compounds" because they are comprised primarily of the elements carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The present experiment will be the synthesis of a familiar organic compound called aspirin. The common chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin‚ the most

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

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

Chromatography serves mainly as a tool for the examination and separation of mixtures of chemical substances. Chromatography is using a flow of solvent or gas to cause the components of a mixture to migrate differently from a narrow starting point in a specific medium‚ in the case of this experiment‚ filter paper. It is used for the purification and isolation of various substances. There are two phases in chromatography: 1. Stationary Phase – a solid that does not move. In this experiment was the

Candy chromatography is a method of analysis of separating and comparing of dyes used in candies and food coloring. It is also a proven method to analyze candy and its complex mixture‚ without having to taste it. These complex mixtures can be separated back into pure substances. To find out the ingredients of a favorite candy‚ chromatography would help to define every ingredient found in the candy sample. The word chromatography is derived from the two Greek words‚ "chroma" meaning color
