Summary
The silylating reagents BSTFA and MSTFA are along with methyl iodide +K2CO3 useful for the derivatisation of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid prior to GLC determination. The determination of traces of salicylic acid in acetylsalicylic acid bulk using BSTFA and MSTFA led also to the slight hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid. A column chromatographic separation seems here also necessary. A 2 m glass 3% OV-17 on Varaport 30, 70–80 mesh, AW/DMCS column was used.
