Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) was created by chemist Albert Hofmann in Switzerland while attempting to create a blood stimulant. The drug was utilized for psychological experiments for many years and this even led to the military experimenting with it as a biological weapon in the 1960’s. During the 1960’s‚ as a result to the wide dispensing of the drug for experimental purposes‚ it wound up being the “…counterculture used the drug to escape the problems of society…” (LSD: A Short History).

In the reaction mechanism‚ the alpha hydroxyketone’s hydroxylic group attacks the positively charged nitrogen from nitric acid attaching it to the molecule. The nitrogen’s electrons are then kicked off on to the oxygen bearing a positive charge‚ creating water. This process formed an organic nitrate. Next‚ water is used to abstract hydrogen from the positively charged oxygen‚ forming hydronium. A carbonyl is formed as well as nitrogen dioxide gas. Simultaneously the oxygen separates itself from nitrogen

Abstract Oxidation was found for primary alcohol. When 6 drops of potassium dichromate and 1 drop of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to 1-pentanol‚ the color of 1-pentaol turned into dark green. In second experiment‚ precipitation was found when 6 drops of 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were added to both 5 drops of benzaldehyde and 5 drops of acetophenone. Based on these data‚ it is possible to find alcohol by oxidation and aldehyde by observing precipitation Introduction This experiments

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract: This experiment is about the synthesis of aspirin under laboratory conditions. Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction:

Safety Precautions for Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride Acetic Anhydride Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended.
