Introduction Methyl Salicylate has been used for a long time for its pleasant odour and flavour. The objective of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique

determine percentage purity of aspirin. Abstract: The mass of acetylsalicylic acid was determined using a analytical balance. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to the acetylsalicylic acid and heated in order to hydrolyze acetylsalicylic acid. Iron chloride was added to each volumetric flask as the purity of the aspirin can be tested by addition of Fe+3 to a suspension of the product. Phenols such as salicylic acid react with iron chloride to form coloured (violet) complexes Aspirin easily absorbs

all started with this question “How will I take away the pain”. Felix Hoffmann’s father suffered from arthritis and there were a few amounts of pain relievers on the market.

showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect of irritating and damaging the mouth‚ esophagus and stomach membranes. In 1899 the Bayer Company of Germany introduced the ethanoate ester of salicylic acid‚ naming it ’Aspirin’. Since that time mild analgesics

we had to save time and cut some days out. We were able to do this by being given our own Salicylic acid (SA) prepared for us instead of having to used wintergreen to make it and recrystallize it. In addition‚ we skipped the qualitative test of our purity for SA and Aspirin (ASA). The first part of this experiment is the preparation of ASA from SA were‚ we prepared our aspirin from the collected salicylic acid. A screw-capped vial was weighed empty to 29.7416 grams and filled with SA. The mass recorded
