Description

Methyl salicylate is a compound that is used in pharmacological treatments. It has been shown to be a fluorescence probe for water vapor and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, which are compounds that have been used as inhibitors of methyl transferase activity. Methyl salicylate also has biochemical properties that are similar to those of salicylic acid, although it does not have the same tissue antigens or enzyme activities. Methyl salicylate is an intramolecular hydrogen donor and can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with other compounds. This makes it useful in plant physiology and sample preparation.br>br>
Methyl salicylate is found in the oils of various plants, such as wintergreen, sweet birch, and sassafras. The oil from these plants often contains methyl salicylate as well as safrole and methyleugenol. Safrole and methyleugenol are aromatic
