1. Weigh out 2g of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid and place it in a pear shaped flask. (The starting material is a fluffy irritant white solid.)
2. Add 4.0cm3 of ethanoic anhydride. (A colourless liquid with a pungent smell.)
3. The reaction mixture will get slightly warm so cool it by swirling the flask under running water.
4. When it is cool, add two anti-bumping granules.
5. Heat under reflux for 30 minutes.
6. Cool the mixture.
7. Pour into 100cm3 of cold water containing 10cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid. Stir and allow the resulting suspension to stand for 15 minutes.
8. Filter off the crystals that form. Dry and weigh the product.
