Without additional information, it's difficult to answer this. The ethyl ethanoate to which you refer must be the solvent used since it is not used in the synthesis of aspirin. The yield and purity can be affected by several variables such as temperature, concentrations of reactants, solvent, etc. The atom economy will also be related to the yield and the purity. But again, without more info, it's difficult to make specific suggestions.
