Laboratory Synthesis of Aspirin

With some important techniques under our belts, let's try our first organic synthesis! The target will be aspirin, which was first synthesized in 1899. It's just one step, and it's as easy as synthesis gets, so it shouldn't be too hard. And we get to put our newfound skills with filtration and recrystallization to the test!
