1 QUIZ 1 Wednesday and Thursday Lab Sections (Sections 5x, 6x and 7x) ASPIRIN Wednesday and Thursday lab sections will take the quiz as originally scheduled - Wednesday and Thursday, March 6 & 7. The quiz will cover the first three exercises (SUSB-053, SUSB-017 and SUSB-03). Monday and Tuesday Lab Sections (Sections 1x, x, 3x and 4x) Last Update: :19 PM Monday and Tuesday lab sections will take the quiz on Monday and Tuesday, March 10 & 11. The quiz will cover the three exercises performed by those sections (SUSB-017, SUSB-03 and SUSB-08) 1 SYNTESIS onducting one or more chemical REATINS using STARTING MATERIALS to produce the desired substance as a PRDUT What makes a synthesis EFFETIVE? IF IT PRDUES TE DESIRED PRDUT: from reasonable STARTING MATERIALS under practical NDITINS e.g., accessible temperature & pressure at a reasonable RATE (ATALYSTS may be helpful) with relatively high YIELD in a chemical environment that permits practical SEPARATIN F PRDUT from excess starting materials and byproducts in an ENVIRNMENTALLY RESPNSIBLE way - GREEN EMISTRY all, in a $T-EFFETIVE manner For substances that may be consumed by humans or animals, there is an additional concern: SYNTESIS must not involve TXI BYPRDUTS that are NT EASILY REMVED 4 hemical reactions rarely result in a SINGLE PRDUT. There are usually BYPRDUTS and, often, only NE reactant will be consumed, producing LEFT VER REATANTS Many reactions don t go to MPLETIN. but REATANTS and PRDUTS establish EQUILIBRIUM Reactants Products If so, reaction conditions can be chosen to PUS EQUILIBRIUM to favor PRDUTS 5 NET RESULT Must be able to separate product from reaction mixture Separation may be based on: Solubility Extraction/ rystallization Boiling Point Distillation hromatography Etc. ow do you decide what starting materials to use? 6 1

2 What are possible STARTING MATERIALS for the synthesis of ASPIRIN, 9 8 4? Does the structure of the desired product suggest a starting point for the synthesis? Aspirin 3 What MATERIALS are readily available, and inexpensive? Salicylic Acid 7 All that would be needed is a reaction that converts the group on the ring to an acetyl group 3 3 A reaction which accomplishes such a conversion is: The reaction of an alcohol or phenol with an acid anhydride 8 A reasonable synthetic pathway, then, is: 3 3 SALIYLI AID (SA) Note that AETI AETI AID ANYDRIDE (AA) is also a product The reaction of this reaction proceeds slowly* 3 3 AETI AETYL SALIYLI AID 9 AID (ASA) What are some properties of the potential REATANTS and PRDUTS? AA SA ASA MP -73 o 157 o 135 o BP 139 o 11 o DE o REATS. mg/ml 3.3 mg/ml Under what conditions should the reaction be conducted? Probably NT in WATER solution - AA reacts and SA is not very soluble Neither SA nor ASA are very soluble in water 10 ould use an RGANI SLVENT but, AETI ANYDRIDE is itself a LIQUID at room temperature. Also, Salicylic Acid is soluble in Acetic Anhydride an use AA as the REATIN MEDIUM (solvent) But Reaction is SLW in pure AETI ANYDRIDE Small amount of a STRNG AID makes reaction proceed more rapidly e.g., S 4 ( i.e., come to EQUILIBRIUM quickly) atalysis! Also, by le hatelier s principle, excess of reactant forces equilibrium towards product formation. So, 11 it is beneficial to use an excess of Acetic Anhydride IN PRE-LAB, YU WILL SW TAT:.0 g SALIYLI AID =.0 g / g / mol SA = mol = 14 mmol SA 4.0 ml AETI ANYDRIDE x 1.08 g / ml = 4.3 g / 10.1 g / mol AA = 0.04 mol = 4 mmol AA SALIYLI AID is LIMITING REAGENT Incidentally, 5 DRPS F S 4 = 5 DRPS x ~0.05 ml/drp = 0.5 ml x 1.84 g/ml = 0.46g/98g/mol = mol = 4.7 mmol (onsistent with being a atalyst) 1

3 What is in reaction vessel finally? INIT FINAL mmol mmol ASPIRIN AETI ANYDRIDE SALIYLI AID AETI AID SULFURI AID Want to isolate aspirin from the excess acetic anhydride, sulfuric acid and acetic acid in the reaction vessel. 13 ASPIRIN is only slightly soluble in water (3.3mg/mL) We can add water to the reaction vessel to cause ASPIRIN to precipitate which we can then recover by filtration Some of the water will react with the excess AETI ANYDRIDE to form additional acetic acid. Rest of the water will form a solution of all of the final products, insofar as they are soluble. AETI AID SULFURI AID Soluble Soluble 14 Since ASPIRIN is slightly soluble in water (3.3 mg/ml), using a small amount of water should cause the loss of very little aspirin. e.g. If 50 ml is used, 50 ml X g/ml = g will be lost (out of a maximum of ~.5 g produced) WEVER, SALIYLI AID is even less soluble (. mg/ml) in water than ASPIRIN. Therefore, any un-reacted SALIYLI AID will precipitate with the ASPIRIN 15 ALULATIN F YIELD Suppose you use.37 g SALIYLYI AID.37 g SA = 1.7 X 10 - mol SA 138 g / mol SA If completely converted, you should get Stoichiometery t is 1 : X 10 - mol x 180 g / mol = 3.10 g ASA Suppose the actual weight of your (dry) product is.49 g actual.49 weight g % YIELD =100 x = 80.3 % Theoretical 3.10 g Yield 16 SUMMARY F PREDURE Record Data & bservations in Lab Notebook Use 15 ml ERLENMEYER FLASK Weigh SALIYLI AID on top loading balance Transfer AETI ANYDRIDE using DEWIK PIPET* - IN D lean, Dry eat in a SEURE water bath -use RING and EXTENSIN LAMP Wire gauze Extension lamp lamp holder Ring ook at 100 o for 0 minutes * Be sure you know how to use this pipet!
