Abstract

Ever since the introduction of aspirin into medicine in 1899, molecular modifications have been prepared in the hope of improving either the pharmacological or physical properties of the drug. It is of interest that the first higher homolog, o-acetoxyphenylacetic acid (I), has not been successfully synthesized thus far.
