A convenient way to obtain complete reaction in the preparation of an acetate ester is to use acetic anhydride. The reaction is catalyzed by concentrated
Aspirin was synthesized from the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride whereas wintergreen oil was made via the reaction of salicylic acid and
The acetic anhydride will be added in excess so unreacted acetic anhydride will be present at the end of the reaction. In addition
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Produced by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride giving a compound which is less acidic
How is aspirin made?
When aspirin is ingested, it is broken down to salicylic acid by the basic conditions in the small intestine. It is then absorbed into the bloodstream. Aspirin can be made by reacting salicylic acid with acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. The phenol group on the salicylic acid forms an ester with the carboxyl group on the acetic acid.
How is acetic anhydride reacted with salicylic acid?
To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, sulfuric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic anhydride will be quenched (reacted) with the addition of water.
What is the difference between salicylic acid and aspirin?
In modern times, salicylic acid is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction.
What happens when you mix aspirin with acetylsalicylic acid?
The acetylsalicylic acid will recrystallize, and the solid impurities (unreacted salicylic acid) should remain dissolved in the solution. The solid aspirin will again be collected using vacuum filtration and tested for purity. This aspirin should be more pure than the original aspirin.
