[@EthalaRide]

I swear when I messed up this lab in college, that was the first sign to me that "Oh, I'm not cut out for this." I don't know where I messed up, I probably left it on the heat too long, but by the time the crystals should have started formed and we're supposed to collect it using the sidearm flask and suction filter, it was a _paste._ I swear I did all the drops, all the steps, all the temp and timing and waiting. But I obviously MUST have messed up. *It was the easiest lab,* but for some reason physics just _breaks_ whenever I do any sort of chem lab, so no matter how studious, by-the-book, perfectionist I am, my results MUST be human error. Even in high school, when we were recording what melted faster, crushed ice vs cubed ice, MY CUBED ICE MELTED FASTER! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! but I SWEAR I didn't mess up the recording even though _I must have._ I love cooking and baking so I'd thought I'd be good in chemistry or even pre-med but HO BOY NOPE.

@Ethala then how are you now? just curious

[@senalpha]

Above 80 °C salicylic acid esterifies the OH of a molecule with the COOH of another molecule of the same species forming a dimer and not acetylation, and this product precipitates with the acetylated species. In order to avoid this parasite reaction you should operate in hot waterbath but below 80 °C. Then basifying the crude acetylated product till solution, you can filtrate it from eventual dimer esther, then acidifying the solution you recover only the acetylated product that you can recrystallize. You can check for unreacted salicylic dissolving a drop of reaction mixture in a test tube with a Fe3+ solution, if it turn deep blue, there is unreacted salicylic.

Why no gloves though? Is this a situation like fuming nitric acid where no gloves is better than gloves? And a fume hood? Acetic anhydride is pretty toxic to my understanding. LC50 is 1000ppm/4H according to Fischer MSDS.

I need to take 30 mg of aspirin daily, but there is no such thing as 30 mg aspirin tablet. So, I am thinking about putting ten 81 mg aspirin tablets in a bottle, adding 27 units of water, then shake it well and take one unit of the compound daily, would that work? I see some solid looking thing at the bottom of the bottle and am wondering whether that is the only aspirin because if that's the case, it's impossible to take 1/27th each time. Not even close.

[@acorgiwithacrown467]

kosherpork this is a bit late but just a reminder that daily aspirin is dangerous and long term daily use is harmful. Only use it when you actually need it.

[@TabTonic]

You cannot dissolve that much Aspirin in Water. You have to add some ethanol at least to dissolve it completely. Though I don't think that would help you. Your idea seems good at first, but practically it is not possible to do it like you want.

Seems counterintuitive to make aspirin with salicylic acid since the body turns aspirin into salicylic acid which is what nums pain.

[@darthnox72]

corgidog can we safely ingest salicylic acid?

[@tbviaemail]

its so you dont get stomach bleeding and gi problems.

[@mariabenitez2461]

Salicylic acid is converted to acetylsalicylic acid which is the same for aspirin. The added acetate group makes aspirin easier to swallow (since it’s original form was a liquid) and less irritating to stomach. Once aspirin reaches small intestine it’s converted back to salicylic acid and goes into blood stream.

[@trezapoioiuy]

Salicylic acid is not the active form, the conversion is the important part, as COX deacetylate the aspyrin and, in turn, get acetylated and inactivated. So, no, if you take salicylic acid you aren't inhibiting COX, you're just putting an exfoliating agent in contact with your gi mucose. You end up with more pain, not less.

[@eldritchirideus2253]

@@mariabenitez2461 Yeah, the reason for using aspirin instead of salicyclic acid is because salicyclic acid is extremely irritating for mucus membranes and can cause ulcers with long time use.
