Chemical Properties

4-Methylsalicylic acid is white to greyish-beige powder

Uses

In manufacture of dyes.

Uses

4-Methylsalicylic acid is similar to salicylic acid. Used in manufacturing of dyes.

Uses

4-Methylsalicylic acid was used to inhibit the medium chain acyl- CoA synthetase.

Definition

4-Methylsalicylic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid consisting of salicylic acid having a methyl group at the 4-position.

General Description

The heteroleptic tris-cyclometalated iridium(III) complex with 4-methylsalicylic acid (Msal) was synthesized and characterized.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from water. It sublimes at 130o/11mm. [Beilstein 10 H 233, 10 II 137, 10 III 521, 10 IV 617.]
