Methyl Salicylate (CAS: 119-36-8) has a characteristic wintergreen-like odor. May be prepared by extraction from natural sources; or by esterification of salicylic acid with methanol. Methyl Salicylate can be used in the formulation of flavors, but the most common use is perfuming toothpaste. IFRA has no restrictions. The European Council includes methyl salicylate in health artificial flavorants table which can be used in food without harm to human, the maximum amount is 8400mg/kg, ADI value is 0.5mg/kg. Methyl Salicylate can be used for food flavor formula, is a food flavor within China's GB2760-1996 provisions of the temporary use , ADI value of 0 to 0.5, is commonly used in the deployment of strawberry, vanilla, grapes and other fruit-flavor flavor for food and beer, but also flavor fructose, soft drinks. Methyl Salicylate is also used as preservatives, pesticides, polishes, inks, paints, polyester dye carriers in industrial fields. Methyl Salicylate ointment is a common dermatology drug with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal effect. Because it can induce local irritation, it is rarely orally used. When spread in the skin, it is easily absorbed. Its liniments, ointments can be used for acute rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and muscle pain, also itching and flavoring agents, flavoring agents, preservatives.

Methyl Salicylate is also used as solvents and intermediates for the manufacture of pesticides, fungicides, perfumes, paints, cosmetics, ink and dye fibers such help. Perfumes and suntan lotion ultraviolet absorber. Salicylic acid and methanol are used to make it in the presence of sulfuric acid through esterification. Salicylic Acid is dissolved in Methanol, add Sulfuric Acid, heat with stirring, the reaction time is 3h, 90-100℃, cool to below 30℃,take oil, wash with sodium carbonate solution to pH8 above, and then wash 1 time with water. Vacuum distillation, collect 95-110 ℃ (1.33-2.0kPa) distillate, obtain Methyl Salicylate. The yield is over 80%. General industrial Methyl Salicylate content is 99.5%. It is easy to change when exposed in air. Fire Hazard Methyl Salicylate is combustible. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
