Experiment #04: 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

This solution served as the source of ionic Iron for the remainder of the lab and was labeled “stock ionic Iron solution.” Next‚ a 50-mL aqueous ionic Iron and FerroZine® complex solution was prepared by adding 5.00mL stock ionic Iron‚ 3-mL of acetic acid buffer‚ 2-mL of 5% hydroxylamine hydrochloride‚ allowing five minutes for hydroxylamine to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+‚ adding 2.5-mL of 0.01 M FerroZine® solution‚ and mixing well.

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. The NMR and

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

objective of the experiment was to prepare Benzilic acid by multistep synthesis starting with benzaldehyde. In this setup however‚ product of the first step‚ Benzoin‚ is provided thereby omitting the first step involving the conversion of benzaldehyde. For this experiment‚ the microscale techniques of reflux‚ crystallization‚ and melting-point determination were used. Utilizing these techniques a product yield of 93% for benzil and 57% for Benzilic acid was obtained‚ as well as a melting point range of

Atausch July 28‚ 2014 Bio 102 Lab Final Exam: Acids and Enzymatic Reaction Purpose: To examine how an acidic fluid will modify the outcome of an enzymatic reaction. Introduction: Enzymes are “specialized proteins made by living cells that serve as biological catalysts.” (eScience Labs‚ LLC‚ 2013) These enzymes “allow certain industrial processes to be carried out at normal temperatures and pressures‚ thereby reducing the amount of energy and expensive equipment needed.”(BBC‚ 2012) Enzymatic

This experiment is to show how much carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction between an acid (hydrochloric acid) and marble. Equipment: Hydrochloric Acid (20ml) - 0.5M‚ 1M‚ 2M Marble Chips (2g per test) Large Measuring Cylinder Plastic Bowl (3/4 full of water) Rubber Tubing Glass Conical Flask Stopwatch Method The first thing that we did was fill the plastic bowl with water. We only filled it up 3/4 of the way because otherwise the water displaced into

The purpose of this experiment was to perform a wittig reaction‚ the horner-emmons wittig specifically‚ reacting an aldehyde with an ylide to make an alkene. This particular variation of the wittig reaction has several advantages: It gives only the trans product; it uses a much milder base that is easier to handle; and it gives a water soluble byproduct which is easy to separate from the product. The reason that these advantages occur is a change in the structure of the ylide. Instead of a tripheylphosphine

determine whether Salicylic Acid made from methyl salicylate is the same as Salicylic Acid made from benzene. This information can be found by comparing the difference in melting points of the two samples of Salicylic Acid. Here are the physical properties of Salicylic Acid and the mechanism of reactions that occurred in this lab. How Salicylic Acid is derived: Procedure/Results First‚ .26mL of 2.0mmol methyl Salicylate was measured and put into a reaction vial along with 2.5mL of 6M
