Aspirin synthesis from salicylic acid.

Introduction

The Introduction is written in Present Tense. Brief history and technique overview. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which is being sold under the trade name "aspirin" by the Bayer Company is synthesized by the conversion of Salicylic acid (SA) to Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) using acetic anhydride in the presence of phosphoric acid acting as a catalyst. The reaction involves the conversion of a phenol to an ester. This reaction is reversible, which is why aspirin commonly smells of vinegar, as the ASA hydrolyzes in air back to SA and acetic acid.

Reaction :

Iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) reacts with phenols to form brightly colored complexes, thus providing an excellent means for testing the effectiveness of the ASA to SA conversion. (ASA does not react because the phenol group is acetylated.

Experimental Procedure:

Past Tense. What did you do exactly? Someone of similar training should be able to repeat the experiment using these instructions and obtain your results.

2.0 grams of salicylic acid, 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride and 5 drops of 85% phosphoric acid

solution were placed into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask. A 70-80 °C hot water bath was prepared by placing a 250 mL beaker on a hot plate with a thermometer to monitor temperature. The 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask with the mixture of salicylic acid, acetic anhydride, and phosphoric acid was partially submerged in the water bath and heated for 15 minutes until vapors ceased to be released. After 10 minutes of heating the submerged flask passed, 2 mL of distilled water was added to the flask. Then, once the reaction reached completion the flask was removed and 20 mL of distilled water was added. The flask was left to cool to room temperature before being placed in an ice bath for 5 minutes to allow crystallization to occur. A vacuum filtration was set up and the mixture was filtered via vacuum filtration. Once the liquid had been drawn out of the mixture, the crystals were washed with 5 mL of cold, distilled water. This was repeated once more. The vacuum filtration apparatus was left on for several minutes to aid in the drying of the solid product before it was weighed and recorded. Crude acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) was added to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. About 60 mL of hot ethanol/water solvent was added slowly to the crude aspirin in a warm water bath. Once the crystals dissolved, the flask was covered and left to cool to room temperature before it was placed in an ice bath for 10 minutes to fully crystallize. Then, the crystals were placed into a vacuum filter where they were subsequently rinsed with two 3 mL portions of cold deionized water and one 2 mL portion of cold ethanol

Results and Discussion:

(What did you discover?) Your observations of the experiment as it progresses is important, new information. Write these observations (color changes, appearance of crystals, formation of an emulsion, boiling temperatures,

test results, etc.) in your notebook as you do the experiment. Also record the weights of reagents and

products and tare weights in this section. Specific sources of error must be noted Figure 1: Structure of Salicylic Acid, Acetic anhydride, and Acetyl salicylic acid The structures of salicylic acid, acetic anhydride, and acetylsalicylic acid are pictured above with their functional groups clearly visible in red.

The table above depicts the various masses and volumes of calculated and raw data in the synthesis of aspirin. 2.009 grams of salicylic acid was used with 5.000 mL of acetic anhydride. nown density for a mass of

5.400 grams. The mass of aspirin and filter paper was 3.159 grams. The mass of the filter paper

was .1300 grams. Thus, the calculated value of crude synthesized aspirin was 3.029 grams. Following purification, the calculated mass of the final aspirin product was 2.169 grams.

Theoretical Yield

2.0 g salicylic acid (1 mole/138.0 g) = 0.014 moles

5 mL acetic anhydride (1.08 g/mL) = 5.4 g

5.4 g (1 mole/102 g) = 0.05 moles

There is a smaller molar amount of salicylic acid so it is the limiting reagent. Therefore, the theoretical yield of acetylsalicylic acid is 0.014 moles.

0.014 moles acetylsalicylic acid (180 g/mole) = 2.52 g

Percent Yield = (experimental mass/theoretical mass) x 100%

Percent Yield = (2.169/2.520) x 100

Percent Yield = 86.07 %

Table 2: Theoretical Yield, Percent Error, and Percent Yield

Theoretical Yield (g) 2.520 g

Percent Yield 86.02 %

The calculated theoretical yield was 2.520 grams. Thus, the percent error was 13.93 % and the percent yield was 86.07%. The esterification reaction is a term for a general reaction in which two reactants, an alcohol and an acid, form an ester in the final product. This reaction can be used to synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid. These types of reactions are typically reversible, so most esterification reactions are equilibrium imposed on a system that is in equilibrium will cause the system to adjust to a new equilibrium in order to counteract the change. The reaction is slow in pure acetic anhydride, therefore phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst amount of acetic anhydride would force the equilibrium towards the desired product, acetylsalicylic acid. This mechanism would cause the reaction to favor the product side (aspirin and acetic acid).The solution was also heated in order to accelerate the approach to equilibrium

It is important to consider that acetylsalicylic acid is not the only product that forms, acetic acid

is another byproduct of the reaction. The objective is to isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid. A hot water/ ethanol mixture (about 20 mL hot solvent of water/ethanol per gram crude aspirin) is used to further purify aspirin by removing acetic acid. The acetic acid is very soluble in water and can be removed from aspirin, which is less polar and interacts with the ethanol portion of the mixture. A purified product is obtained after recrystallization of crude aspirin in the hot ethanol.

Conclusion:

A total of 2.169 grams of pure aspirin was synthesize out of a possible yield of 2.52 grams. Thus, there was 86.07% product yield. Acetylation of salicylic acid makes aspirin less acidic and therefore less damaging to the digestive system of the human body. In the future, special care should be given to the washing of the crystals with cold distilled water to maximize yield. Also, a stronger acid catalyst such sulfuric acid could be used to further increase the rate of reaction.quotesdbs_dbs2.pdfusesText_4
