Dear students, question is, draw the structure of aspirin and provide a mechanism under basic conditions for the hydrolysis of aspirin to cellic acid.
00:12
What is the slowest step in the hydrolysis? let us first draw this structure of aspirin.
00:21
Acid aspirin is oh and this is o acetylsilate.
00:33
Acetylsilate.
00:34
This is aspirin.
00:37
It is a compound made of o made from salicylic acid and acidic anhydride.
00:45
Now this acid will salicylate when hydrolyges in your basic conditions.
00:51
Basic conditions, for example, let us take sodium hydroxide as the base and this oh minus ion ionizes this acid.
01:03
So it will give carboxillate ion.
01:08
So this is the intermediate formed.
01:17
This is the first process.
01:21
This is the first step...
