• Resumen

  • Over-the-counter analgesics such as aspirin, acetanilide, phenacetin, and acetaminophen are conveniently prepared in a microwave at 30% power for five minutes. Recrystallization from appropriate solvents results in solid products in good to excellent yields. Melting points, thin layer chromatography, and infrared spectroscopy all confirm that the products are pure.
