Reaction between methyl salicylate and sodium hydroxide?
When methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it undergoes saponification to form sodium salicylate and methanol. This reaction is a base-catalyzed ester hydrolysis reaction that converts the ester functional group of methyl salicylate into a carboxylate salt.

Why adding warm water help you to smell the aroma of the methyl salicylate?
Adding warm water to methyl salicylate enhances its aroma because heat increases the volatility of the compound, allowing more molecules to evaporate into the air. This heightened evaporation facilitates the release of aromatic compounds, making the scent more pronounced and detectable. Additionally, warm water may help dissolve the methyl salicylate better, further contributing to the intensity of the aroma.
What is the chemical formula for JUST salicylate?
Formula: C6H4(OH)COO-
Does phenyl salicylate have an Ionic bond or Covalent bond?
Phenyl salicylate has covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons to fill their valence shells. This type of bond is typically observed in organic compounds like phenyl salicylate, where carbon and hydrogen atoms are bonded together.
What ester is produced from salicylic acid and methyl alcohol?
Methyl salicylate is produced from the reaction of salicylic acid and methyl alcohol. It is commonly known as oil of wintergreen and is often used as a flavoring agent or in topical creams for its characteristic wintergreen aroma.
Does methyl salicylate removes acne?
By itself no, methyl salicylate would increase the absorption into the skin of a medicine that could.
How can sodium hydroxide convert to sodium salicylate?
You can turn sodium hydroxide into sodium salicylate by reacting it with salicylic acid.
Why would Valerian hype up?
Valerian is high in salicylate. Some people can't metabolise salicylates well and react to things like Asprin, orange juice, strawberries. They may have histories of things like asthma, hives, rashes, hyperactivity or fit ADHD. Salicylate is a natural plant toxin and some plants, such as Valerian, are high sources of it. Salicylate intolerant people can become hyped up, agitated, have racing thoughts, irritability when consuming high levels of salicylate. It can take around 3 days to reach a peak so the longer someone unable to metabolise or detox from salicylate is on something/s high in salicylate, the more this accumulates or backlogs in their system until they reduce the salicylate levels allowing the body to catch up. Hence, advice to stick with Valerian for several weeks when it is already hyping someone up, can be problematic advice if one has not first ruled out the possibility of salicylate intolerance. Someone already consuming high levels of salicylates may then experience associated insomnia, go get Valerian and only add to the problem.
