How did Emil Bayer manage to make the bark of the willow tree that contained the active ingredient and precursor to aspirin LESS acidic via organic chemistry reaction. Be specific, show by chemical reaction and circle all functional groups (parts of the molecule) in the reactants that were altered in the products (circle these too).
The purity of the aspirin sample is tested with iron (III) chloride. A purple color resulting from iron (III) chloride test indicates the aspirin sample contains some unreacted salicylic acid and the carboxylic acid group in salicylic acid gives a purple color. the structure of aspirin itself contains a phenolic -OH group. O the aspirin sample contains some unreacted salicylic acid and the phenolic -OH group in salicylic acid gives a purple color. the aspirin sample contains some unreacted salicylic acid and the ring structure in salicylic acid gives a purple color.

The larger the Kb the more available the lone pair of nitrogen. Steric factors do not affect the basicity of the amine. The smaller the Kb the more available the lone pair of nitrogen. Electron-donating groups make the lone pair of nitrogen less available for donation.. The availability of the lone pair of nitrogen is decreased by steric factors. The more electron-donating groups the more basic is the amine. Electron-donating groups make the lone pair of nitrogen more available for donation.
