1. For the acetylation of ferrocene, ferrocene is mixed with acetic anhydride and 85% phosphoric acid and heated for 20 mins. Why is phosphoric acid used rather than a stronger acid such as sulfuric acid?
2. For the oxidation of ferrocene, NH4[PF6] is added to the reaction mixture of ferrocene, acetone, distilled water, and anhydrous FeCl3. What is the purpose of adding NH4[PF6]?
1. If we add sulfuric acid, being a oxidizing agent, oxidation of ferrocene occurs. It form ferrocinium ion. But phosphoric acid does not have such property so acylation occurs smoothly.
2. If we add hexafluoride phosphorus salt then it acts as a counter part of cationic ferrocinium ion and precipitated out from solution. PF6 anion is inert one and cationic iron sandwich form is favoured at high temperature, but this is not observed for the BH4 anion counterpart, due to increased coulombic attraction between this smaller counter anion and localized oxonium charge.

PRELAB EXERCISE EXPERIMENT 21 Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) What is the purpose of sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid used in the acetylation reaction? Use equations to explain this purpose. The procedure calls for cautious addition of water to the reaction mixture while it is still hot. What purpose does the addition of water serve and why should the addition be done while the reaction mixture is hot? Provide an equation for the reaction involved.Using the quantities of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride...
1) Which reactant, salicylic acid or acetic anhydride, is in excess? Show your work. 2) If you were to use 3.17 g of starting material, how much product would you expect? Again, show your work. 3) Why is phosphoric acid added to the reaction? 4) A small amount of water is added at the end of the reaction to react with the excess acetic anhydride. Show a balanced equation for that reaction. 5) Explain the purpose of the FeCl3 test...
5.0 ml of 2-methylcyclohexanol was placed in a 50 ml round bottom flask. Phosphoric acid (85%, 5 ml) was added cautiously, and the mixture swirled. Boiling stones were added to prevent bumping during heating. The mixture was heated to reflux temperature and refluxed for 15 minutes. The products were collected between 85-90 ˚C, in a small round bottom flask, cooled in ice water. Isolation Procedure The distillate was washed with 2 x 5 ml saturated sodium chloride solution in a...
please help Mustrates treat all types of ilnesses. Background Aspirin is a prodrug of salicylic acid, the actual active drug. A compound related to salicylic acid, salicin, was first isolated from willow bark in the mid 1700's, but willow-bark extract was used by the andient Greeks as a treatment for pain and fever. Salicylic acid (and many related phenols) are very hard on your Ho stomach, but when esterified, as aspirin is, they are much better tolerated. Simple esters are...

PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS - Fischer Esterification Reactions Q: Calculate the expected mass of both methyl salicylate and aspirin assuming 100% yield. EXPERIMENT7 PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS Fischer Esterification Reactions Almost 2500 years ago, physicians such as Hippocrates recommended that patients chew on the bark of the willow to alleviate pain. The active ingredient in willow bark was found to be salicin, a compound made of a molecule of salicyl alcohol bonded to a p-D-glucose molecule. In the stomach, the bond between...
