Organic acids and alcohols are reacted (in the presence of a dehydrating agent) to produce esters. And these substances are often recognized by their characteristic odors. In the case here, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol yield methyl salicylate, which is winter-green.
No, benzyl salicylate is not a base. It is an ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid with benzyl alcohol.
When salicylic acid reacts with methanol , Methyl salicylate (commonly known as Oil of Wintergreen) is formed. The chemical formula of Methyl salicylate is C6H4(OH)COOCH3 , It can also be written as C8H8O3
The products of the acid hydrolysis of methyl salicylate are salicylic acid and methanol. Acids catalyze the cleavage of the ester bond between the methyl group and the salicylate group, resulting in the formation of these two compounds. The reaction requires heat and produces acidic conditions to facilitate the hydrolysis process.
One side methyl group- otherwise virtually identical identical- formula is the same. I bet the properties are very close. That methyl group in isopropyl hexadeconoate probably has a bit more effect on the oxyl main chain than if it was far away- probably slightly more acidic.
esterification -----> ROH + R'-COOH -------> R'COOR acid with alcohol gives ester transesterification ROH + R'COOR'' -------- > R'COOR change of alkyl group present with R'COO by using a alcohol if you want to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. H3C-COOH + HO-CH2-CH3 → H3C-COO-CH2-CH3 + H2O Transesterification is the process of exchanging the alkoxy group of an ester compound with another alcohol. These reactions are often catalyzed by the addition of an acid or base.
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
Transesterification is used in the production of bio-diesels and polyesters. It means interesterification. For better clarification, there is a reaction between an ester of one alcohol and a second alcohol to form an ester of the second alcohol. The alcohol from the original ester as that of methyl acetate and ethyl alcohol turn to form ethyl acetate and methyl alcohol.
No, it is the methyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
No, benzyl salicylate is not a base. It is an ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid with benzyl alcohol.
When salicylic acid reacts with methanol , Methyl salicylate (commonly known as Oil of Wintergreen) is formed. The chemical formula of Methyl salicylate is C6H4(OH)COOCH3 , It can also be written as C8H8O3
the reactants are methanol and butyric acid
it when .............. somting and somthing are put togather
Bismuth salicylate C7H5BiO4 Ignoring inactive ingredients, the salicylate salt of bismuth is the active ingredient and also lends the wintergreenish flavor as Methyl salicylate is the main component of wintergreen and is a salt or ester of salicylic acid. The methyl ester is the chief component of oil of wintergreen. Salicylic acid is also the main component of aspirin, chemically known as acetylsalicylic acid, commonly abbreviated as ASA in drug preparations.
Yes, methyl propionate is an ester. It is formed by the condensation reaction between methanol and propionic acid, resulting in the formation of an ester linkage.
Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and an acetate ester of salicylic acid.
The products of the acid hydrolysis of methyl salicylate are salicylic acid and methanol. Acids catalyze the cleavage of the ester bond between the methyl group and the salicylate group, resulting in the formation of these two compounds. The reaction requires heat and produces acidic conditions to facilitate the hydrolysis process.
Methyl benzoate, an organic compound, is an ester. It is a colorless liquid that is not soluble in water and has a fruity smells. Some uses for methyl benzoate are as a solvent and a pesticide.
