NEW PLANT SELECTIONS for 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower the Sunflower Is One of the Most Popular Genera of Flowers to Grow in Your Garden
NEW PLANT SELECTIONS FOR 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower The Sunflower is one of the most popular genera of flowers to grow in your garden. First-time to experienced gardeners gravitate to these bold, easy to grow flowers. Sunflowers originated in the Americas and domestic seeds dating back to 2100 BC have been found in Mexico. Native Americans grew sunflowers as a crop, and explorers eventually brought the flowers to Europe in the 1500s. Over the next few centuries, sunflowers became increasingly popular on the European and Asian continent, with Russian farmers growing over 2 million acres in the early 19th century (most of which was used to manufacture sunflower oil). How to Grow and Care for Sunflowers: Sunflower seeds can be direct sown after the risk of frost has passed or started indoors. Seeds should be sown ¼” to ½” deep and kept moist. Taller, larger sunflower varieties have a large taproot to keep them rooted and do not do well when they are transplanted so direct sowing of those varieties is recommended. Choose a site, or a container, in full sun, with average fertility and good drainage. https://ngb.org/year-of-the-sunflower/ Proven Winners 2021 Annual of the Year – Supertunia Mini Vista® Pink Star Meet the newest star in our annual lineup!

Preparation of Aspirin, Methyl Salicylate and Nylon Experiment #6
Preparation of Aspirin, Methyl Salicylate and Nylon Experiment #6 Objective: To observe the contrasts in appearance and odor of two different esters of salicylic acid, namely aspirin and methyl salicylate. The preparation of nylon will be demonstrated. Introduction Salicylic acid is a phenolic acid, indicating it has two functional groups on the benzene ring, an -OH group and a -COOH group. Aspirin and oil of wintergreen are esters of salicylic acid. Aspirin is the ester of salicylic acid and acetic acid (acetyl salicylic acid), whereas oil of wintergreen is the ester of salicylic acid and methanol (methyl salicylate). The chemical name for aspirin, acetyl salicylic acid, is not easily recognized as the name of an ester. However, the chemical name for oil of wintergreen, methyl salicylate, should readily be recognized as the name of an ester. In the preparation of aspirin the -OH group of salicylic acid reacts with the acetyl group of acetic acid or acetic anhydride to form acetyl salicylic acid. The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction. Hence, the reaction vessel must be very DRY to ensure a complete reaction. Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is used as a dehydrating agent. The aspirin will be isolated by filtration and washed several times with ice cold deionized water to remove the water soluble impurities (acetic acid and sulfuric acid). Aspirin is quite insoluble in ice cold water, but is relatively soluble in warm water (1 g dissolves in 100 mL water at 37EC). -

Focuson MOUTHRINSES
v16F_mouthrinsetable_Layout 1 3/28/14 11:04 AM Page 30 FOCUSonMOUTHRINSES This informative table provides details about the therapeutic and cosmetic mouthrinses currently available. Do patients truly understand how mouthrinses work? Some may think of them as “magic bullets” that will cure their dental ailments with just a swish and spit. Oral health professionals, however, know that this is not the case. Patients still need advice on the proper usage and selection of mouthrinses, and the best resource for mouthrinse information is you—their dental hygienist. As the dental team member whose focus is prevention, your knowledge of mouthrinses is paramount to providing excellent patient care. With so many different mouthrinses on the market today, keeping up to date on the prod- ucts available is challenging. This Dimensions of Dental Hygiene mouthrinse guide is intended to help you sort through both the therapeutic and cosmetic mouthrinse options. When consider- ing over-the-counter therapeutic mouthrinses, noting which products have received the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance is also helpful, as they have been evaluated for safety and efficacy. We hope you find this guide useful when making product recommen- dations to patients who wish to add rinsing to their daily oral care regimens. —Jill Rethman, RDH, BA Editor in Chief Note: Mouthrinse manufacturers in the United States were invited to submit information for this table. This list includes those companies that responded to our request for information. There may be inadvertent -
Experiment 22 Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen
Experiment 22 Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen GOALS: In this two-week experiment the important area of organic chemistry will be illustrated by the preparation and characterization of two compounds. The usefulness of functional groups will be illustrated as well as the use of NMR, IR, and melting point in characterizing a product. The analysis will be done next week in Experiment 23. INTRODUCTION: Synthesis and use of organic compounds is an extremely important area of modern chemistry. Approximately half of all chemists work with organic chemicals. In everyday life, many if not most of the chemicals you come in contact with are organic chemicals. Examples include drugs, synthetic fabrics, paints, plastics, etc. Synthesis of Aspirin and Methyl Salicylate. The two compounds we will be preparing, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate), are both organic esters. An ester is a compound that is formed when an acid (containing the –COOH group) reacts with an alcohol (a compound containing an –OH group). O O + C O C + O Eqn 1 R O H 1 H R2 R O R H H 1 2 ester water acid alcohol Here R1 and R2 represent groups such as CH3– or CH3CH2–. The reaction type shown above may be called a condensation reaction because the small molecule H2O is eliminated from the reactants while the remaining bits of the reactants condense together to give the main product. This reaction may also be called an esterification, since the product of the reaction is an ester, a compound containing the CO2R group (see chapter 20 for definitions of acids, esters, and alcohols). -

Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University, Ukraine, 46001 Ternopil, Maidan Voli 1 *[email protected] Abstract The aim of this study was the comparative analysis of phenolic compounds in the Ocimum americanum and Monarda fistulosa herbs using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method and the spectrophotometric evaluation of the total hydroxycinnamic derivatives (THD) contents. Rosmarinic acid (RAc) was the predominant phenolic compound of both investigated species. RAc (22.84±0.61 mg/g) commonly with luteolin-7-O-glucoside, acacetin-7-O-glucoside, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid can be considered as the quality markers of the Monarda fistulosa herb. The complex of polyphenols consisting of RAc (22.33±0.58 mg/g) followed by luteolin-7-O-glucoside, rutin and ferulic acid was specific to the Ocimum americanum herb. The THD content in the Monarda fistulosa herb (3.63±0.05 %) was higher comparatively to Ocimum americanum raw material (2.96±0.05 %).
