TCI C0409 4-Methylsalicylic Acid (CAS 50-85-1) is a positional isomer of methylsalicylic acid supplied for research-scale organic synthesis. The adjacent hydroxyl and carboxyl groups allow intramolecular hydrogen bonding and make the compound a useful chelating ligand and synthetic intermediate. AMI Scientific stocks this TCI item in 25 g and 500 g packs for both exploratory and routine laboratory work. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from strong bases and oxidising agents, and follow the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet.
