Methyl 5-methylsalicylate is a synthetic compound that belongs to the group of aldehydes. It is used in coatings, nigrum, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. Methyl 5-methylsalicylate has been shown to have synergistic effects with methyl salicylate and can be used for the treatment of exocrine gland disorders such as hyperhidrosis or erythrasma. The hydroxyl group on the methyl group increases its polarity and its ability to form hydrogen bonds, which may account for its high volatility. This compound also has photophysical properties that allow it to show different colors when exposed to light. Methyl 5-methylsalicylate has been shown to be homochiral because it has two identical enantiomers.
