Aspirin to Acetaminophen - Part 1 of 6: Extracting Aspirin from Pills
4,300UPDATE: In this video, I am showing you guys what the "proper" procedure would be, but it is by no means the fastest. If you want the fastest way, follow chemplayers method. I just prefer to not evaporate solvents, but that takes extra time.
Hey guys, today we are starting on the journey from Aspirin to Tylenol. I would use a gravity filtration though in both cases though. It's just as fast and doesn't have as many problems as a vacuum one. Still do a recrystallization though. Without a recryst/hot filtration, the ASA is still pretty dirty.
