Chapter 1, Problem 6Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The CAS number of all the reagents used and products synthesized in the reaction to synthesize the aspirin should be determined.
Concept introduction:
CAS numberis simple and regular datathat is helpful for database searches. They provide a reliable link to every specified substance apartfrom the various nomenclatures and disciplines used by the chemical industry. Each number assigned by the CAS is unique to a particular chemical compound. There is no correlation to the scientific chemical number for the substance.

A mixture is made up of low molecular weight carboxylic acid, alcohol and ester. What one step procedure can you use to extract the ester component from the mixture? Describe the process briefly
2.1g of sample are dissolved in methylene chloride and the sample is extracted with an aqueous solution of acid and base. Three compounds are isolated - 0.7g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 0.6 g of acetanilide, and 0.5 g of benzoic acid. Calculate the % composition of ethyl p-aminobenzoate in the recovered mixture. (Round the answer to 1 significant figure. Give just the number, not a % sign.)
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.

- You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.arrow_forwardYou are studying a reaction wherein compound X is dehydrogenated to yield compound Y, and in the absence of a catalyst you have determined that the delta Go under standard conditions of pH 7 and 37o (RT = 0.59 kcal/mole) has a value of +1.2 kcal/mole. If you start with 150,000 molecules of X, how much, if any, Y will be generated when you reach equilibrium? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSalicylic acid, the active metabolite produced by the drug Aspirin, has been isolated from the European white willow tree for thousands of years. Using the structure of salicylic acid a brief explanation to 1) isolate salicylic acid ana other soluble organic components from the insoluble willow bark and 2) isolate salicylic acid from the other soluble organic components by extractive work-up. For the purposes of this exercise, you may assume that the other organic components, aside from salicylic acid, are neutral and inert (generally unreactive in the presence of acids/bases). devise HO.
