Base Catalysed Mechanism?

[LJP07]

Hi

 

There's a small reaction mechanism for the Base Catalysed Hydrolysis of Acetylsalicylic acid? Basically the reaction is:

 

Acetylsalicylic acid ----> Under water and NaOh conditions forms Salicylic acid and CH3CO2H.

 

Anyone know the mechanism, I think I've gotten half way but it's so basic and I can't even finish it, anyone know?
