The title compound, C16H12O6, is a common impurity of ortho-acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 81.9 (1)° while the acetyl and carboxyl groups form dihedral angles of 74.0 (1) and 26.4 (2)°, respectively, with the benzene rings to which they are bound. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups, forming inversion dimers.

The compound was prepared by acetylation of salicylsalicylic acid (purchased from Alfa Aesar) using acetic anhydride. 0.02 mol of salicylsalicylic acid was mixed with 0.01 mol of acetic anhydride with addition of 10% NaOH (5 ml) and ca 50 ml ice. The reactants were stirred for ca 2 h and the reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromotography. When the reaction was complete, the white solid was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol (yield 90%).
H atoms bound to C atoms were placed geometrically and allowed to ride during
with C—H = 0.95 (aromatic) or 0.98 Å (methyl) and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (aromatic) or 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl). The H atom bound to O5 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with an isotropic displacement parameter, with the O—H distance restrained to 0.85 (1) Å.Acetylsalicylsalicylic acid is a condensation (dehydration) product of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and salicylic acid, and is a common impurity in commerical aspirin samples. Its pharmacological effects have been examined by Bundgaard (1974), and it has been suggested that the compound is a potentially immunogenic substance involved in the development of allergic reactions to aspirin.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Acetylsalicylsalicylic acid is a condensation (dehydration) product of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and salicylic acid, and is a common impurity in commerical aspirin samples. Its pharmacological effects have been examined by Bundgaard (1974), and it has been suggested that the compound is a potentially immunogenic substance involved in the development of allergic reactions to aspirin.
