Organic Synthesis Advanced (University) 80 분 ~$18.00

목표

무수 아세트산으로 p-아미노페놀을 아세틸화하여 아세트아미노펜(파라세타몰)을 합성하고 아마이드 결합 형성을 실증한다.

배경

Acetaminophen is one of the world's most widely used over-the-counter analgesics. Its synthesis involves the reaction of p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride to form an amide bond. The reaction is selective for the amine group over the phenol group under mild conditions.

안전 경고

  • Acetic anhydride is corrosive and has a strong odor
  • p-Aminophenol can cause skin irritation
  • Do not consume the product
  • Work in a fume hood

실험 절차

1

Dissolve 1.5 g p-aminophenol in 15 mL distilled water in the Erlenmeyer flask. Warm gently if needed.

5 분 Handle p-aminophenol with gloves
2

Add 2 mL acetic anhydride to the solution. Stir vigorously for 10 minutes.

10 분 Fume hood — pungent vapors
3

Heat the mixture in a water bath at 70°C for 10 minutes to complete the reaction.

12 분
4

Cool the mixture in an ice bath until crystals form.

15 분
5

Collect crude product by vacuum filtration. Wash with cold water.

8 분
6

Recrystallize from hot water or acetone/water mixture. Cool slowly for larger crystals.

15 분
7

Collect purified crystals. Dry and determine melting point (pure: 168-170°C).

10 분
8

Calculate percent yield.

5 분

예상 결과

White crystalline solid with melting point 167-170°C. Typical yield is 70-85%. The product should be pure white; discoloration indicates impurities from p-aminophenol oxidation.

정리

Do not consume the product. Dispose of organic waste properly. Rinse all glassware.
