Ethyl salicylate Usage And Synthesis


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.
