Question
Convert the alcohol, n-propanol, to n-propyl fluoride in 2 steps. List the reagents in the order you would use them.
Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a chemical reaction equation for the synthesis of aspirin. It involves the following chemical reaction:
**Reactants:**
- Salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃)
- Acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃)
**Products:**
- Acetylsalicylic acid (C₉H₈O₄, commonly known as aspirin)
- Acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂)
**Reaction representation:**
Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride react to form acetylsalicylic acid and acetic acid. An arrow indicates the direction of the reaction from the reactants to the products.
This reaction is a classical example of an esterification process where the hydroxyl group (-OH) of salicylic acid reacts with the acetic anhydride to form the ester group of aspirin. The byproduct of this reaction is acetic acid. This process is commonly used in both laboratory and industrial settings for the production of aspirin.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The structures of the molecules are displayed using line-angle representations typical in organic chemistry.
- Salicylic acid is shown on the left side, with its phenolic and carboxylic acid groups.
- Acetic anhydride is depicted next to it, illustrating its two carbonyl groups connected by an oxygen atom.
- The arrow signifies the progression from reactants to products.
- On the right, acetylsalicylic acid is displayed showing its acetyl functional group attached to the aromatic ring of salicylic acid.
- Acetic acid is shown as a byproduct, completing the reaction.
This diagram helps visualize the molecular transformation occurring in the synthesis of aspirin.
