methyl (2-hydroxyphenyl)acetate

Description:

Methyl (2-hydroxyphenyl)acetate, also known as methyl salicylate acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from salicylic acid and acetic acid, featuring a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a phenyl ring, which contributes to its aromatic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet, and minty aroma, often associated with wintergreen. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. Methyl (2-hydroxyphenyl)acetate is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, fragrance component, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it exhibits potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data indicates that, while generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
