Rebecca Boreham 7/1/14 Chem 2423 Experiment #5 Synthesis of Aspirin Elizabeth Ajasa Kaylee Seymour Lauren Hatfield Suveda Perikala Introduction/ Purpose Aspirin is the most commonly used drug in the United States. Forty million pounds are produced each year. The chemical name for aspirin is Acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin originated from the bark of a White Willow Tree. Chewing the bark however is extremely acidicand irritates the mucous membranes

purpose of this essay is to discuss the Islamization of Persia in relation to the Samanid and Buyid Dynasties. The synthesis of Persian culture and Islam was not an immediate result of the Arab expansion into Iran and there is certainly a lack of research on the subject. However‚ in this essay‚ I will attempt to explain the contributions of the Samanid and Buyid dynasties to this synthesis with a focus on the attempts of the Samanid Dynasty at centralization and a unified identity through religion‚ language

particularly fruit flavors -- have just one or a few dominant chemical components that carry the bulk of the taste/smell signal. Many of these chemicals are called esters. Esters have the structure of -COOR. Instead of the alcohol portion of thecarboxylic acid (-COOH)‚ there is an ether portion. The low boiling‚ volatile esters are known for their "fruity" smell and flavor. They are used in artificial flavorings. (Operational Organic Chemistry‚ John W.

acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by creating a reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid. This was be accomplished through the use of recrystallization. Acetic anhydride and salicylic acid are mixed together‚ and then acidified by the addition of a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid‚ which catalyzed the reaction. The percent yield is calculated to determine the effectiveness of the reaction in preparing the desired product (aspirin). The limiting reactant of the equation was salicylic acid. After

Amino Acids Amino acids are biologically organic compounds containing amine and carboxylic acid functional groups‚ usually along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The elements that are key of an amino acid are carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen. There are about 500 different kinds of amino acids found but we recognize 23 of the amino acids that are known‚ they are classified into three groups‚ essential semi-essential‚ and non-essential. Each amino acid has unique characteristics

and acetic anhydride were used to create acetaminophen and acetic acid. The acetic acid mixed with acetaminophen created an impure sample‚ which was purified through the addition of a water/methanol solution. The percent recovery of acetaminophen from the impure sample to the pure sample was 76%. The melting point of the pure sample was 167C - 169C. Introduction: Formulation of acetaminophen involves treating an amine with an acid anhydride to give rise to an amide. In this experiment‚ p-aminophenol

Aspirin Synthesis Introduction Out of all the pharmaceutical drugs in the worlds‚ aspirin is made the most. Any potential pharmacist must be familiar with synthesizing the drug. The goal of this lab is to synthesize as much pure aspirin as possible. The reactants‚ acetyl anhydride and salicylic acid‚ must react in phosphoric acid. With phosphoric acid as a catalyst‚ the reaction yields aspirin and acetic acid. The equation for the reaction is as follows: “(CH3CO)2O + HOC6H4COOH □(→┴yields ) CH3CO2C6H4CO2H
