Where did you get this idea? This does not seem like a good way of going about things. Among the possible reactions:

  • Precipitation of copper hydroxide
  • Hydrolysis of ASA with production of sodium acetate and salicylic acid
  • Nuetralization of salicylic acid
  • Formation of copper chelate with salicylic acid
