EXERCISE 11 Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid from Salicylic Acid) RAQUID‚ Rency J Group 5 18L I. Introduction Due to the demand of certain reagents in the laboratory in order to perform and conduct further experiments or produce essential compounds‚ chemists continuously develop organic synthesis. This process aims to prepare and synthesize desired organic compounds from commercially or readily available ones by providing the simplest route in synthesizing the compound

After the reaction was completed‚ purification of the product was conducted using semi-microscale recrystallization. The melting point of the product was 136-141 oC‚ which is in the close vicinity of the literature melting point of 146 oC. The theoretical yield of 3-nitrochalcone was 0.253g and the yield after filtration was 0.22g (percent yield of 86.9%). The percent yield after recrystallization‚ was 80.9%. INTRODUCTION The goal of this experiment was the synthesis of 3-nitrochalcone from 3-nitrobenzaldehyde

in an ice-water bath. The mixture will begin to precipitate out a solution. Using vacuum filtration the crude product is collected and with a sample from the crude solid we can determine a melting point. With the remaining solid we undergo recrystallization by adding deionized water into an Erlenmeyer flask and repeat the heating process. Once the crude solid dissolves the mixture is cooled again to room temperature and then in an ice-water bath. Again with vacuum filtration the solid can be extracted

Learning Activity 1 Preparation of Acetanilide Abstract Recrystallization is a common method of purifying organic substances through the difference in solubility at different temperature. In this experiment‚ acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heating water bath. The solution was cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals form out. As the compound crystallizes from the solution‚ molecules of other compounds

Starting with the weight of .198 g of salicylic acid‚ the moles of the reactant was determined to be 1.43 x 10-3‚ as shown in Equation 3. The purified aspirin product was a white powder that had a weight of .140 g. The number of moles of the purified aspirin product after extraction was 7.77 x 10-4 as shown in Equation 4. These two moles calculated a chemical yield of 54.3% as shown in Equation 5. The melting point of the pure aspirin product was ranged at 117.8-125.2C as shown in Table 1.

evaporates from a warm surface and condenses as a solid on a cold surface. The crude naphthalene had a melting point range of 85°-90° C while the 35.4% yield of pure naphthalene had a melting point range of 70°-76° C. Recrystallization was used to purify the salicylic acid. Recrystallization is the process of dissolving the original solid in a hot solvent and then allowing the solution to cool to let the solid crystallize again. The crude salicylic acid had a melting point range of 150°-153° C while

Observe and record the results. For Diffusing part‚ place a small beaker of water in a place where it will not be disturbed. Then drop one small crystal of potassium permanganate into the beaker and record the appearance. For Recrystallization part‚ place approximately 5-7 grams of sodium thiosulfate in a test tube and heat the mixture the solid appears to melt. Then allow the solution to cool to room temperature. If no crystals appear when the test tube is cooled‚ the solution is
