Is the structure of acetoaminophen similar to the structure of aspirin? Would acetaminophen give a positive phenol test? What products would be obtained if acetaminophen were hydrolyzed in acidic aqueous solution?
Is the structure of acetoaminophen similar to the structure of aspirin?
Similar, in the sense that they have 2 benzene rings + OH and C=O groups...
acetominophn contains N-H which is slightly basic and is not contained in asprin.
Would acetaminophen give a positive phenol test?
YES, acetophen is likely to give a positive test, since it has phenols
What products would be obtained if acetaminophen were hydrolyzed in acidic aqueous solution?
if hydrolysed, this means the H+ ions will be present
so the N-H gruop gets NH2+ charged
