But unfortunately salicylic acid attacks the mucous membranes of the mouth and esophagus and causes gastric pain that may be worse than the discomfort it was meant to cure. Felix Hoffmann, a chemist for Friedrich Bayer, a German dye company, reasoned that the corrosive nature of salicylic acid could be altered by addition of an acetyl group and in 1893 the Bayer Company obtained a patent on acetylsalicylic acid, despite the fact that it had been synthesized some forty years previously by Charles Gerhardt. Bayer coined the name Aspirin for their new product to reflect its acetyl nature and its natural occurrence in the Spiraea plant. Over the years they have allowed the term aspirin to fall into the public domain so it is no longer capitalized. The manufacturers of Coke and Sanka work hard to prevent a similar fate befalling their products.
