Concept introduction:
Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
Intramolecular catalysis: A catalysis where catalyst is a part of the molecule that undergoes the reaction promotes the reaction in a species.
Intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis: A catalysis where catalyst is a part of the molecule that undergoes the reaction promotes the reaction in a species by acting as a nucleophile.
Intramolecular general-base catalysis: A catalysis where catalyst is a part of the molecule that undergoes the reaction promotes the reaction in a species by completely removing a proton during the slow step in a reaction.

Whether the ortho-carboxy substituent acts as an intramolecular general-base catalyst or as an intramolecular nucleophilic catalyst can be determined by carrying out the hydrolysis of aspirin with 18O-labeled water and determining whether 18O is incorporated into ortho-carboxy-substituted phenol. Explain the results that would be obtained with the two types of catalysis.
