Solution

When salicylic acid is treated with ${(C H_{3} C O)}_{2} O$ in presence of $H^{+}$ (acid), acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) is produced.
The reaction is known as acetylation.
$C_{6} H_{4} (C O O H) (O H) (Salicylic acid) + {(C H_{3} C O)}_{2} H^{+} - ------- \to - C H_{3} C O O H C_{6} H_{4} (C O O H) (O C O C H_{3}) (Acetylsalicylic acid)$
