About this document

TLC Analysis of Aspirin Synthesis by Azubuike Wogu is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes the synthesis and analysis of aspirin. It begins by providing background on aspirin and its properties. It then describes how aspirin was synthesized in this experiment by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of phosphoric acid. The crude aspirin was purified through recrystallization and analyzed using TLC. TLC analysis showed the crude and recrystallized samples contained both salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. The percent yield of aspirin synthesized
