In the 5th century B.C.‚ Hippocrates ground the bark into a powder‚ and later‚ the Natives Americans chewed on the bark to alleviate fever and pain1. In the 19th century‚ a German chemist by the name of Felix Hoffman wanted to find a medication that would ease

ABSTRACT: The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is the attack of a benzene ring on an electrophilic species resulting in the substitution of a proton with a functional group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl

The first part of extraction will be to separate the salicylic acid from the naphthalene using diethyl ether and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The naphthalene will reside in the ether and be the top layer‚ while the

By obtaining data of the melting points of the 2 purified compounds and cross-referencing from a list of possible organic compounds‚ the 2 organic compounds were identified to be Dibenzalacetone (Neutral) and o-Chlorobenzoic acid (Acidic). Results A solubility test was conducted to determine the recrystallization solvent to be used

solubility in the early part of the synthesis. Due to this fact‚ any unreacted starting materials would remain soluble throughout the recrystallization process. Additionally‚ the Diels-Alder product is soluble in boiling xylene‚ but insoluble in cool xylene. This makes for an ideal recrystallization solvent. The purified crystals that were collected from the recrystallization were a faint off-white color‚ with a regular‚ shiny plate-like shape. The purity of the crystals was improved as seen in the melting

The objective of the experiment is to conduct the synthesis of aspirin and reinforce the skills of recrystallization and technique of melting point determination. Both experimental successes and errors were analyzed. The mass of recrystallized aspirin recorded was 0.85g‚ which led to a low percent

Within this experiment‚ Acetaminophen will be formed through the reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. This reaction will incur Acetaminophen as a crude solid being impure‚ which will be purified further through the use of a recrystallization technique. The purification process involves dissolving a solid and recrystallizing as a crystal solid from the solution. The process is follow by heating the crude solid to dissolve using a minimal amount of solvent‚
