SYNTHESIS OF ASPIRIN (acetylsalicylic acid)

To make sure that the desired product is obtained 2 test can be used melting point test and FeCl₃ test.

Melting point of aspirin is 135⁰C . If the crystal obtained in the reaction melts at this temperature then it is aspirin.

If there is no reaction after the addition of FeCl₃ then the product is aspirin.

Purity of aspirin can be determined by the addition of FeCl₃ . If a purple color appears then the aspirin is impure i.e, it contains phenol.

FERRIC CHLORIDE TEST FOR SALICYLIC ACID

Add 10 drops of aqueous 1% ferric chloride solution to a test tube containing a few crystals of the compound to be tested dissolved in 5 mL water and note the color. Do this test with 1.phenol, 2. salicylic acid, and 3. your crude product. Formation of an iron-phenol complex with Fe(lll) gives a definite color ranging from red to violet, depending upon the particular phenol present.

Your one thumbs up will help me lot. Thanks!
