Common Name | 6-Methylsalicylic acid |
---|
Description | 6-Methylsalicylic acid, also known as methylsalicylate or 2,6-cresotic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as salicylic acids. These are ortho-hydroxylated benzoic acids. 6-Methylsalicylic acid is found in Aspergillus flavipes, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus terreus IMI16043 , Epicoccum sorghinum, Eriodictyon angustifolium, Garcinia mangostana, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Mutisia spinosa, Neolentinus cyathiformis, Penicillium griseofulvum, Penicillium solitum, Penicillium spp., Penicillium vulpinum, Phyllosticta spp., Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces viridochromogenes Tu57 and Tetramorium impurum. 6-Methylsalicylic acid was first documented in 1966 (PMID: 5973021). 6-Methylsalicylic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 1225916) (PMID: 16345795) (PMID: 20534347) (PMID: 24699147). |
