Question
Chapter 1, Problem 6Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The CAS number of all the reagents used and products synthesized in the reaction to synthesize the aspirin should be determined.
Concept introduction:
CAS numberis simple and regular datathat is helpful for database searches. They provide a reliable link to every specified substance apartfrom the various nomenclatures and disciplines used by the chemical industry. Each number assigned by the CAS is unique to a particular chemical compound. There is no correlation to the scientific chemical number for the substance.

2.1g of sample are dissolved in methylene chloride and the sample is extracted with an aqueous solution of acid and base. Three compounds are isolated - 0.7g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 0.6 g of acetanilide, and 0.5 g of benzoic acid. Calculate the % composition of ethyl p-aminobenzoate in the recovered mixture. (Round the answer to 1 significant figure. Give just the number, not a % sign.)
you plan to carry out the syn- thesis of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride, using 85% phosphoric acid as a catalyst. In addition to aspirin, acetic acid will be a side product. Using one of the suggested online sources (such as the Sigma-Aldrich or Acros Organics websites), look up the molar masses for all of the reagents and products in this reaction. Also look up the melting points of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid and the boiling points and densities of acetic anhydride and acetic acid. Your answers should include both the molar masses and the physical properties for all four reagents and products.
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.
