When aspirin is made from acetic acid, the by product is H2O; when acetic anhydride 1S used, the by-product is acetic acid. When acetyl chloride is used (see above), the by product is HC1. Which route should you use if you were working for Leica, a company that mass produces aspirin on a daily basis? Why?

The hydrolysis of the ester shown here is catalyzed by morpholine. Explain how morpholine catalyzes the reaction. (Hint: The pKa of the conjugateacid of morpholine is 9.3, so morpholine is too weak a base to function as a base catalyst.)
To synthesize Tylenol, p-aminophenol will be acetylated using 1.4 equivalents of acetic anhydride. Starting with 2.1 g p-aminophenol, how what volume (in mL) of acetic anhydride is required?
A student decided to run the esterification reaction between p-toluic acid (p-methylbenzoic) and ethanol but found that the stockroom had only just enough ethanol left to react with her carboxylic acid, that is, a stoichiometric amount of alcohol. Furthermore, the only concentrated acid the stockroom had left was hydrochloric acid (a non-dehydrating acid ). What other method (s) could she use to drive the esterification reaction to completion ?
