Vedclass · Answer

(A) Aspirin is chemically known as $2$-acetoxybenzoic acid. It is prepared by the acetylation of salicylic acid. It contains an ester linkage $(-COO-)$ and a carboxylic acid group $(-COOH)$,not an amide linkage. Therefore,the statement that it contains an amide linkage is false. Additionally,aspirin is known to cause stomach irritation as a side effect,although it is generally safer than salicylic acid.
