EXPERIMENT 25: Synthesis of Cyclic Carboxylic Acid Anhydrides: Phthalic Anhydride
PROCEDURE:
2. Next we added a 200μL (2.1mmol) of acid anhydride and then attached the vial to
a reflux condenser protected by a calcium drying tube.
3. We cautiously dispensed the acetic anhydride under the hood using an automatic
delivery pipet.
REACTION CONDITIONS:
4. The reaction solution was carefully positioned at the bottom in a sand bath and
heated to a temperature of 150 - 160°C for 30 minutes.
6. After vacuum filtration, we carefully rinsed the filter cake by drop-wise addition
of 0.4mL of cold hexane using a Pasteur pipet.
7. Completed the drying of the solid by placing the crystals on filter paper.
8. After the product was dry, we weighed the product and calculated the percentage
yield, determined melting point, and obtain an infrared spectrum.

PRODUCT ANALYSIS:
We believe our product is Phthalic Anhydride, because our sample’s melting point
of 128.5C is within a 98.1% confidence range of the Phthalic Anhydride
experimentally determined melting point of 131C. Our IR spectrum with a strong
C═O at 2800cm-1 and peak and a prominent C═C peaks at 1690cm-1 and at
1430cm-1, further support our findings.
