Description
Salicylic acid methyl ester is an aromatic ester supplied at a minimum purity of 99 % for laboratory and synthesis use. It is registered under CAS number 119-36-8 and EG number 204-317-7, with the empirical formula C₈H₈O₃ and a molar mass of 152,15 g/mol. Key physical data include a density of 1,18 g/cm³, a flash point of 96 °C and a boiling point of 221 °C. The compound is commonly applied as a fragrance intermediate, solvent component and synthetic building block in organic chemistry. This listing provides a 250 ml glass pack suitable for preparative work, formulation trials and routine laboratory handling. Identity and physicochemical parameters correspond to the specification from manufacturer Carl ROTH, supporting consistent performance in research and process-development settings. Clear boiling-point and density values aid safe transfer, storage planning and reaction design. The high assay grade makes the ester appropriate where defined purity is required for downstream chemistry or analytical comparison.
