Hydrolysis Of Acetylsalicylic Acid
Hydrolysis Of Acetylsalicylic Acid . You will receive a portion of crystalline acetylsalicylic acid (c 9 h 8 o 4). Salicylic acid has an absorbance maximum at 295 nm, whereas aspirin does not absorb at this wavelength. How to Convert Aspirin to Salicylic Acid (Base Hydrolysis Method) YouTube from www.youtube.com In this experiment we will make salicylic acid. The acetal group protects aldehydes and ketones in basic conditions during, for example, lialh 4 or nabh 4 reduction or grignard reactions after which it is removed by hydrolysis. The progress of the reaction may readily be followed by monitoring the increase in absorbance at 295 nm as salicylic acid is formed.
