Vedclass · Answer

(B) The synthesis of Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) involves the acetylation of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid $(X)$ reacts with acetic anhydride $(Y)$ in the presence of an acid catalyst $(H^+)$ to form acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) and acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$. The reaction is: $	ext{Salicylic acid} + (CH_3CO)_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} 	ext{Aspirin} + CH_3COOH$. Thus,$X$ is salicylic acid and $Y$ is acetic anhydride $(CH_3CO)_2O$.

$X + Y \xrightarrow{H^{+}} \text{Aspirin} + CH_3COOH$. Identify $X$ and $Y$ from the following:
