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...
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...
