The reaction involved in this experiment is described as acetylation of Salicylic Acid. Discuss how the acetylation reaction is useful in the formation of other drug molecules from opiate

Salicylic acid is treated with acetic anhydride in the presence of conc.H2SO4

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was synthesised in the following experiment:8.25 g of salicylic acid (Msalicylic acid = 138.13 g mol–1) was reacted with 10.0 g of ethanoic anhydride (Manhydride = 102.10 g mol–1) in the presence of a concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst. 8.55 g of a white solid was collected at the end of the reaction.salicylic acid + ethanoic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + ethanoic acidCalculate the percentage yield of aspirin. State your answer to three significant figures. Maspirin = 180.17 g mol–1.

hich Of The Following Is A General Method Of Preparing Acid

Tick all the reactions that give rise to a carboxylic acid product.

Which one of the following is the correct statement for drug ?A Morphine is obtained by acetylation of heroine B Cannabinoids interact with cannabinoid receptors present principally in the brain C Cocaine has a potent inhibiting action on central nervous system D Atropa belladona and Papaver somniferum has hallucinogenic properties
