(C) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. [3×1]
The facility with which the aromatic ring of phenols and phenol ethers undergoes electrophilic substitution has been
noted. Two examples are shown in the following diagram. The first shows the Friedel-Crafts synthesis of the food
preservative BHT from para-cresol. The second reaction is interesting in that it further demonstrates the
delocalization of charge that occurs in the phenolate anion. Carbon dioxide is a weak electrophile and normally does
not react with aromatic compounds, however, the negative charge concentration on the phenolate ring enables the
carboxylation reaction shown in the second step. The sodium salt of salicylic acid is the major product, and the
preference for ortho substitution may reflect the influence of the sodium cation. This is called the Kolbe Schmidt
reaction, and it has served in the preparation of aspirin, as the last step illustrates.

(i) Give the IUPAC name of salicylic acid.

(ii) Salicylic acid heated with acetic anhydride to form a compound which is very useful drug which lower the
body temperature as well as use to prevent heart attack. What is the name of compound (IUPAC name)?
