The0structure
1 of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid is shown.
0 1 .1 Give the equation for the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid with
methanol.
In your equation, include the skeletal formula of the organic product.

Aspirin is produced from 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid by
reaction with ethanoic anhydride in the presence of concentrated
phosphoric acid.
Method
1.Add 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid to a conical flask.
2.Add excess ethanoic anhydride.
3.Add a few drops of concentrated phosphoric acid.
4.Heat the flask to 85 °C for 10 minutes.
5.Cool the flask and pour the contents into 150 cm3 of cold water.
6.Filter and wash the impure solid aspirin.
7.Recrystallise the aspirin using a 50:50 mixture of water and ethanol.
8.Check the purity of the aspirin.
0 1 .2 Aspirin can also be produced by reacting 2-
hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid with ethanoyl chloride.
State why ethanoic anhydride is preferred to ethanoyl chloride for this
preparation.
