Aspirin

Aspirin and paracetamol, both used to treat pain. However, which one is actually better? Based solely on its chemical properties, aspirin is a better medication when compared to paracetamol. Before the first ever pain killers were discovered, willow bark was used an analgesic due to its antipyretic nature. This later lead to the discovery of Aspirin. Acetanilide was the first derivative of paracetamol to be found. However, it could not be used due to its harmful toxic effects. During the 1880s

Aspirin Therapy for Vascular Disorders Physicians across the country agree that daily use of aspirin for prevention of vascular disorders is controversial (Neale, 2014). Dr. J. Jaques Carter of Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston admits that he used to recommend a daily aspirin to all of his middle-aged adult patients, regardless of vascular disease risk factors being present, as it was standard procedure at the time (Neale, 2014).

My Pet Toxicant- Aspirin Name:Róisín O’Donoghue Student Number: 14321746 Figure 1: The structure of aspirin. Made using ChemDraw At recommended doses, aspirin is a relatively safe drug and is taken by millions of people all over the world. However chronic use can produce harmful effects on the gastric mucosa, and at a dose of about 0.15 to 0.5g/kg it can be fatal. It contributes to approximately 15% of reported accidental deaths in children due to poisoning and this is as a result of ingestion

Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to synthesize aspirin. In this experiment aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, was synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In the reaction the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacted with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. This method of forming acetylsalicylic acid is an esterification reaction. Since this esterification reaction is not spontaneous, sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst to initiate

known as aspirin. A common procedure used in organic chemistry labs is multi step synthesis. this procedure involves a cascade of reactions that ultimately lead to a desire product. The series of reactions begins with commonly found or readily available reagents which are synthesized into products which can be used for a secondary reaction, and so on and so forth until the final desired product is synthesized (Ryerson Department of Chemistry, 2017). In this experiment the synthesis of aspirin was used

experiment, acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, was synthesized. The two main reagents for this procedure were salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The aspirin was made through the conversion of salicylic acid into an ester and was obtained with a yield of 48%1. Introduction Aspirin is a salicylate drug that acts as an analgesic, which reduces aches and pains, as well as antipyretic, which controls fever. In addition, aspirin also acts as an anti-inflammatory that reduces inflammation

Olivia Isaacs C127 11 November 2014 The Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin Objective: In this experiment, aspirin was synthesized from acetic anhydride and salicylic acid made in order to characterize its properties and determine its purity. The purity of the aspirin was examined by its melting point, thin layer chromatography, and UV spectroscopy. Introduction: Aspirin is synthesized by the formation of acetic anhydride and salicylic acid with the presence of a catalyst (Salicylic Acid

Experiment 19: Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen The purpose of this experiment was to employ techniques to synthesize aspirin and oil of wintergreen and to purify crude aspirin via recrystallization. Additionally, techniques were learned to determine the purity of the synthesized organic molecule of acetylsalicylic acid using a back-titration method. The objectives of the experiment were achieved by synthesizing the organic molecules of acetylsalicylic acid (using salicylic acid and
