GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| Salicylic acid is a white crystalline powder or needle-shaped crystals with sweetish taste; soluble in acetone, ether, alcohol, boiling water, benzene and turpentine, sparingly soluble in chloroformbenzene, slightly soluble in water; melts at 158°C. The sodium salt form (sodium salicylate) is common commercially, prepared from mainly sodium phenolate with carbon dioxide under heating and pressure. It contains both a hydroxyl and a carboxyl group, which react with either an acid or an alcohol. The carboxyl group forms esters with alcohols; e.g. methyl salicylate is formed with methanol, which used in food flavorings and preservatives; menthyl salicylate is formed with methanol, which is used in suntan lotions. The hydroxyl group reacts with acetic acid to form acetylsalicylic acid (called aspirin) which is the most widely common antiseptic and antipyretic agent. Phenyl salicylate (called salol) is formed with phenol which has antiseptic property also. Salol is a white powder with aromatic aroma; melting point 42 C. It is slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform, and benzene. It was used as an analgesic, antipyretic and intestinal antiseptic but is used in veterinary medicine. It is used in the preparation of antiseptic and preservative. It is used in the prevention of sunburn. | ||
