Description |
Ethyl 2-hydroxdybenzoate is also known as Ethyl salicylate, which a kind of ester formed through the condensation between salicylic acid and ethanol. It can be used as a perfumery, artificial essence flavoring agent and used in cosmetics. It can also be used as analgesics, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic agents. |
Chemical Properties |
clear colourless to pale yellow liquid |
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl salicylate is the ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid and ethanol. It is a clear liquid that is sparingly soluble in water, but soluble in alcohol and ether. It has a pleasant odor resembling winter green and is used in perfumery and artificial flavors. |
Chemical Properties |
Ethyl salicylate has a characteristic aromatic odor similar to wintergreen. It tends to darken on exposure to light and air. |
Uses |
manufacture of artificial perfumes. |
Production Methods |
Ethyl salicylate is found naturally in currants and strawberries . It is manufactured commercially by the esterification of salicylic acid with ethyl alcohol. |
Preparation |
By esterification of salicylic acid with ethyl alcohol and concentrated H2SO4 at 100°C in the presence of aluminum sul[1]fate; by heating to the boil an alkaline solution of salicylic acid and ethyl p-toluenesulfonate. |
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: sweet, wintergreen, spicy and anisic. |
