ester methyl salicylate
« on: March 12, 2010, 08:32:37 PM »
Write the equation for the preparation of the ester methyl salicylate reaction using structural formula" and explain why you can never expect 100% yield from this reaction

Is this correct, not structural formula but the regular equation

salicylic acid + acetic anhydridge --> aspirin + acetic acid

and why can't you expect 100% yield just by looking at this equation?
