The Heyden company subsequently sold phenyl salicylate as a pharmaceutical, under the commercial name "Salol", [20] a contraction of "SALicylate of phenOL". [21] Among other applications, [22] Salol was used as an orally administered antiseptic for the small intestine, where the compound is hydrolyzed into salicylic acid and phenol. [18]
Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the molecule. Phenol – the simplest of the phenols Chemical structure of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin. Phenols are both synthesized industrially and produced by plants and microorganisms. [2]
Phenol – the simplest of the phenols Chemical structure of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin Chemical structure of aloe emodin, a diphenol Quercetin, a typical flavonoid, is a polyphenol Tannic acid, a typical polyphenol of indeterminate structure Lignin, is around 25% of the composition of wood This structure is repeated many ...
Salicylic acid has long been a key starting material for making acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or aspirin). [8] ASA is prepared by the acetylation of salicylic acid with the acetyl group from acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride. [17] ASA is the standard to which all the other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are compared. In veterinary medicine ...
Phenol (also known as carbolic acid, phenolic acid, or benzenol) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 5 OH. [5] It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C 6 H 5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). Mildly acidic, it requires careful handling because it can cause ...
"Salicylic acid is a topical medication used to treat acne and a variety of other skin conditions, like warts and psoriasis," says double-board-certified dermatologist, Maya Thosani, MD. While it ...
Chemical structure of salicylic acid, a common phenolic acid Phenolic acids or phenolcarboxylic acids are phenolic compounds and types of aromatic acid compounds. Included in that class are substances containing a phenolic ring and an organic carboxylic acid function (C6-C1 skeleton).
This category is for esters of salicylic acid at the benzoyl group. Esters of salicylic acid at the phenol group belong in Category:Salicyl yl esters . See also the categories Salicylates and Salicylyl esters
