Hedef

Salisilik asidi asetik anhidrit ile asetilleyerek aspirin (asetilsalisilik asit) sentezlemek ve saflığını erime noktası ölçümü ile değerlendirmek.

Arka Plan

Aspirin synthesis is a classic organic chemistry experiment. Salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride in the presence of a phosphoric acid catalyst to form acetylsalicylic acid and acetic acid. The product is purified by recrystallization and verified by melting point (135°C for pure aspirin).

Güvenlik Uyarıları

  • Acetic anhydride is corrosive and has a pungent odor — work in fume hood
  • Phosphoric acid is corrosive
  • Do not consume the synthesized aspirin
  • Wear gloves and goggles

Ekipman

Erlenmeyer flask (125 mL) Hot water bath (beaker) Buchner funnel Filter flask Vacuum pump Melting point apparatus Thermometer Ice bath

Prosedür

1

Weigh 2.0 g of salicylic acid into the Erlenmeyer flask. Record the exact mass.

3 dak
2

In a fume hood, add 5 mL of acetic anhydride and 5 drops of phosphoric acid catalyst.

3 dak Acetic anhydride is corrosive and pungent
3

Heat the flask in a water bath at 70-80°C for 15 minutes, swirling occasionally.

15 dak
4

Remove from heat and carefully add 20 mL of cold water to decompose excess acetic anhydride.

3 dak Exothermic — add water slowly
5

Cool the flask in an ice bath until crystals form. Scratch the flask wall with a glass rod to initiate crystallization.

6

Collect the crude product by vacuum filtration using the Buchner funnel. Wash with cold water.

7

Recrystallize: dissolve the crude product in 5 mL warm ethanol, add 15 mL warm water, then cool slowly in ice bath.

15 dak
8

Collect purified crystals by vacuum filtration. Dry and determine the melting point.

Beklenen Sonuçlar

White needle-like crystals with a melting point of 134-136°C (pure aspirin is 135°C). Typical yield is 70-90%. A depressed or broad melting range indicates impurities (likely unreacted salicylic acid).

Temizlik

Dispose of organic waste in designated containers. Do not consume the product. Rinse all glassware.
