Is Aspirin an Amine?
« on: April 23, 2004, 11:08:50 AM »
I don't believe aspirin is an Amine...

am I right...

because aspirin is a memeber of salicylates, esters of salicyclic acid.  Chemmically aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, and ester formed between acetic acid and the -OH group of salicylic acid.
