Benzoic acid, 5-acetyl-2-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 5-acetyl-2-hydroxy-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 5-acetylsalicylate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet aroma. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of both an acetyl group and a hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. Methyl 5-acetylsalicylate is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in food preservation and cosmetic formulations. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
