TCI C0408 3-Methylsalicylic Acid (CAS 83-40-9) is a methyl-substituted salicylic acid derivative supplied as a non-heterocyclic building block for laboratory synthesis. Its phenolic hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups provide two selectively addressable reaction sites, making it useful in multi-step organic chemistry and coordination studies. AMI Scientific offers this TCI catalogue item in 25 g, 100 g, and 500 g pack sizes to suit different working scales. Store the material in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in a tightly closed container, and always consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet before handling.
