In the aspirin synthesis excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed by the addition of water which converts the anhydride into acetic acid Write the balanced equation for this reaction?

The reaction is: (CH3CO)2O + H2O = 2 CH3COOH


What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?

If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.

In the preparation of aspirin water is added to the reaction flask Why?

The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.


monobromination of acetanilide occurs,while tribromination of aniline would occur under the same conditions?

Write a detailed set of equations for the acetylation reaction, and in particular show clearly that the reaction can be regarded as a nucleophilic substitution, in which the attacking nucleophile is aniline (attacking acetic anhydride).


What are the impurity in aspirin synthesis?

The main impurties are probably the unreacted reactants. i.e salicylic acid and some acetic anhydride (ethanoic anhydride)
