1 Lab Report: O-Acylation Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reactions Nicolás Tapia Stoll & Guenevere Coury Professor Beatrix Aukszi & Jarlyn Ramirez 10/09/2023 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to undergo an O-Acylation substitution reaction using salicylic acid and acetic anhydride, and afterwards ferric acid to test to determine the purity of the product produced after recrystallization. The hypothesis for this experiment is that from the O-Acylation reaction Acetylsalicylic Acid will be produced which will be shown via the IR of the product, as well as a negative Ferric acid test for phenols as this will no longer exist in the final product once having completed the reaction.

4 Collected Experimental IR of Recrystalized Product: Observed Peak Bond Analysis 3236.55ppm O=R-OH (Carboxylic Acid) 2970.38 Sp 3 C-H 1739.79ppm C=O 1610.56ppm C=C 1217.08ppm C-O 850.61ppm Benzylic Ring Conclusion: The experimental findings of the experiment were initially somewhat confusing, as the IR of the crude product did not show the expected carboxylic peak, while showing the alcohol peak form the salicylic acid which should not have been there. Despite this, after recrystallization and increasing the purity of the final product the collected IR final product did appear to make sense with the experimental hypothesis as it no longer included the alcohol peak found in salicylic acid, while also including all the other peaks expected in Acetylsalicylic Acid including a carboxylic acid, carbonyl, C=C, benzylic and C-O (from the ester) peak. Additionally the final qualitative test with ferric acid for phenols came out negative, indicating there was no alcohol present, showing that most if not all salicylic Acid had been reacted. The observations during the experiment come mostly from the ferric acid test, which showed that when standard salicylic acid was added to a ferric acid solution the solution turned purple indicating a positive test for phenols, while when an amount of the final recrystallized product was added to the ferric acid solution the color was almost
5 colorless, with a very small taint of purple meaning there could have been a very small amount of salicylic acid that had not been reacted (as shown in the picture below). Overall, there were no major mistakes made when following the procedure of the experiment. Although the calculated % yield was not as high as one could have hoped for, it was still within an accepted margin, with the reasons for it not having been higher being possibly blamed on instrumental errors, or human errors when measuring, pouring, and mixing different reactants. In the end though, as the final product did have an IR without an alcohol peak and with an ester indicating C-O peak, while also coming out (relatively) negative for phenols with the ferric acid tests one can conclude that the experimental hypothesis was in fact correct.
