| | 5-Methylsalicylic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 5-Methylsalicylic acid is a white to beige powder that is soluble in basic water and in polar organic solvents. At neutral pH, the acid exists as 5-methylsalicylate Its functional groups include a carboxylic acid and a phenol group. It is one of four isomers of methylsalicylic acid. | | Uses | Toxicity is similar to salicylic acid. 5-Methylsalicylic acid is used in manufacturing of dyes.
| | Uses | 5-Methylsalicylic acid was used in generation of o-sulfate conjugates in situ and their analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. | | Preparation | 5-Methylsalicylic acid can be prepared by hydroxylation of 3-methylbenzoic acid. | | General Description | 5-Methylsalicylic acid exhibits a significant cross-reactivity during fluorescent polarization immunoassay for salicylates in serum. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acid from H2O.
