Introduction Medicinal properties
of acetylsalicylic acid known for millennia
1800’s – Salicylic Acid isolated
1893 – Felix Hoffmann Jr. synthesized acetylsalicylic acid

Procedures
Synthesis of Aspirin Heat a large beaker full of water to 75-85˚C. Weigh out 3.0 g of salicylic acid and deposit
in a large test tube. Measure 6.0 mL of acetic anhydride and
deposit into the test tube as well. Add 10 drops of 85% sulphuric acid to the
test tube and stir with a stirring rod. Place the test tube in the large beaker of
water on the hot plate, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.

Procedures
Crystallizing the Aspirin Remove beaker from heat and add 20 drops of
cold distilled water to the test tube. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Cool the mixture further by placing the test tube
in a large beaker full of ice water to crystallize. Weigh the filter paper with a watch glass and fill
a wash bottle with around 25 mL of chilled distilled water.
Filter the solid aspirin. Rinse the crystals and test tube with the chilled
water. Place filter with product in a watch glass to dry. Weigh and measure the melting point range
twice.

Procedure
Above: Filtering the aspirin crystals using a Buchner funnel and aspirator.
Below: The crude aspirin. This sample weighs 2.96 g.

Procedures
Recrystallizing the Crude Aspirin Dissolve crude aspirin in 10 mL of 95% ethyl
alcohol. Warm the mixture in a hot water bath. When all the aspirin has dissolved, pour in 10 mL
of lukewarm distilled water. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and set
aside to cool slowly undisturbed overnight. Collect crystals using vacuum filtering. Rinse collected crystals with cold distilled water. Allow the crystals to dry using vacuum filtering. Weigh the sample and calculate the percentage
yield out of a maximum yield of 3.9g again.

Procedures
Finding the Melting Point Range Place about 5 mm of aspirin crystals into a
capillary tube, which is then placed into the melttemp apparatus.
Insert a mercury thermometer through the top. Heat the apparatus until 15˚C from the expected
melting point (135˚C) at which temperature the heat should be reduced.
Record the range of the melting point as the temperature at which the first drop of liquid appears up to when all the aspirin has been converted into a liquid.
Repeat the process.

EquationsThe balanced equation is
C4H6O3 + C7H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2
Word Equation Acetic Anhydride + Salicylic Acid = Aspirin + Acetic Acid
![Page 20: Synthesis of Aspirin](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061318/56813cb7550346895da66118/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CalculationsMoles of a molecule = (Mass of
substance)/(Molar mass) Acetic Anhydride (C4H6O3): 102.09 g/mol
6 g / 102.09 g/mol = 0.05877 moles
Salicylic Acid (C7H6O3): 138.12 g/mol 3 g / 138.12 g/mol = 0.02172 moles
Aspirin (C9H8O4): 180.16 g/mol
Acetic Acid (C2H4O2): 60.05 g/mol
![Page 21: Synthesis of Aspirin](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061318/56813cb7550346895da66118/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Calculations Salicylic acid is the limiting reagent
Only 0.02172 moles of aspirin will be produced.
Mass of a substance = (Moles of a substance) * (Molar mass)
180.16 g/mol x 0.02172 mol = 3.913g aspirin

Suggested Modifications to Procedure Temperature rise at a rate of 1-2°C per
minute Humidity kept minimum
Acetic Anhydride, Aspirin decomposes Phosphoric acid used instead of sulfuric acid
For higher yield Slower process

Sources of Experimental Error Thermometer inaccurately measured the
melting range Sensitive digital scale Impurities in the reactants or final product Contaminated lab equipments Sulfuric acid used instead of phosphoric acid
Lower yield
