In the production of aspirin, this group is added to the para position of a benzene ring, resulting in a product of acetylsalicylic acid.
In the production of aspirin, this group is added to the para position of a benzene ring, resulting in a product of acetylsalicylic acid. They are generally classified as Lewis acids which are easily deprotonated, resulting in a resonance-stabilized system. Utilization of spectroscopic techniques in the observation of polysaccharides has led researchers to identify them as key components in the formation of proteins. For 10 points, name this chemical group contained by acetic acid with chemical formula COOH, more often associated with being the key constituents of amino acids.
