Description: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.
