4-Methylsalicylic acid

Description:

4-Methylsalicylic acid, also known as 4-methyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a methyl group attached to the para position of the salicylic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C8H8O3, and it features both a hydroxyl (-OH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, contributing to its acidic properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, but less soluble in water. 4-Methylsalicylic acid is used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits antimicrobial properties and has been studied for its potential biological activities. The compound's melting point and boiling point can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. As with many organic acids, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

4-Methylsalicylic acid

CAS: 50-85-1

4-Methylsalicylic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of salicylates. It is an organic compound with a molecular weight of 96.12 g/mol and the chemical formula C8H8O3. The epoxidation of 4-methylsalicylic acid occurs through the use of catalysts, such as zinc oxide and manganese dioxide, which are not functionalized. The addition of these catalysts causes a reaction between the methyl group and the hydroxyl group in 4-methylsalicylic acid, forming methyl salicylate. This product is also used as a chiral building block for other compounds, such as axial chirality and olefins.
