Detailed Solution

  • Both statements I and II are correct. 
  • Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a derivative of salicylic acid, which is a natural compound found in plants such as willow trees. 
  • Aspirin is synthesized by acetylating salicylic acid with acetic anhydride, resulting in the substitution of an acetyl group (-COCH3) for the hydrogen on the phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) of salicylic acid. 
  • This chemical modification improves the pharmacological properties of salicylic acid, making aspirin a more effective pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent.
