not irritate the stomach (Richman, 2004). It also has very low toxicity is it is used properly. Acetaminophen is cheap and easily obtainable from any pharmacy. Acetaminophen is created when the amine group of p-aminophenol is acetylated by acetic anhydride. This creates an amide functional group and the

this experiment, aspirin was synthesized from acetic anhydride and salicylic acid made in order to characterize its properties and determine its purity. The purity of the aspirin was examined by its melting point, thin layer chromatography, and UV spectroscopy. Introduction: Aspirin is synthesized by the formation of acetic anhydride and salicylic acid with the presence of a catalyst (Salicylic Acid + Acetic Anhydride → Acetyl Salicylic Acid + Acetic Acid1). During the synthesis, the catalyst donates

ingredient that is found in aspirin and is used to treat inflammation, pain and fever. It is created by an esterification reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. At the end of the reaction, a product and unreacted salicylic acid and acid catalyst was created. The product contains impurities, such as acetic anhydride and salicylic acid, which needs to be removed. Crystallization, a technique used to purify substances, produces crystals and the impurities get filtered

Abstract In this experiment, acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, was synthesized. The two main reagents for this procedure were salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The aspirin was made through the conversion of salicylic acid into an ester and was obtained with a yield of 48%1. Introduction Aspirin is a salicylate drug that acts as an analgesic, which reduces aches and pains, as well as antipyretic, which controls fever. In addition, aspirin also acts as an anti-inflammatory

Northrop Morse at the John Hopkins University, Paracetamol was one of several aniline deriviatives that was found to have analgesic and antipyretic properties (Brodie 23). It was first synthesized by the reduction of p-nitrophenol with tin in glacial acetic acid; however was not used classified as a medication until ten year later (Bertolini 264). Initially, phenacetin, a closely related compound that exhibited similar physiological effects, became the popular over the counter drug for headaches (Bertolini

Historical Developments Relevant to Aspirin: A historical Development that relates to Aspirin is the father of our modern Medicine Hippocrates, who was a Greek Physician, left records of how they treated headaches, fevers and pains, and to ease child- bearing pains with a powder made of the leaves and bark form a Willow Tree. Also the Ancient Egyptians left a medical text called “Ebers Papyrus” which is also lists willow among a list a plant and animal remedies for pain relief, fever reduction, and

and a parameters, an absolute MW has to be calculated using light scattering technique and due to high sensitivity to aggregate formation the obtained value is usually overestimated. These artifacts may be carried out for instance by the use of 0.3M acetic acid/0.2M sodium acetate (pH = 4.5) solvent which does not form aggregates in this mixture. Under these conditions, the absolute M values were obtained from steric exclusion chromatography (SEC) equipped with viscometer and light scattering detector

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or aspirin is a drug that is commonly used as an analgesic, to relieve pain without a loss of consciousness, to reduce fever and it is also used as an anti-inflammatory drug. It is salicylate drug and its salicylate was originally extracted from the willow bark plant which was discovered by Hippocrates, a very long time ago (1). After many research and trials it has come under consideration that Aspirin can be used as a preventive and as an anti-inflammatory drug for cardiovascular
