0 1 The structure of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid is shown.
0 1 . 1 Give the equation for the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid with methanol.
T
In your equation, include the skeletal formula of the organic product.
ES
[2 marks]
B
Aspirin is produced from 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid by reaction with
E
ethanoic anhydride in the presence of concentrated phosphoric acid.
TH
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.
LL
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.
A
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.
