Note

Ethyl salicylate, also known as fema 2458 or mesotol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-hydroxybenzoic acid esters. These are benzoic acid esters where the benzene ring is ortho-substituted with a hydroxy group. Ethyl salicylate is a sweet, balsam, and floral tasting compound. Ethyl salicylate has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as evergreen blackberries, alcoholic beverages, black elderberries, garden tomato, and fruits. Ethyl salicylate is the ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid and ethanol. It is a clear liquid that is sparingly soluble in water, but soluble in alcohol and ether. It has a pleasant odor resembling wintergreen and is used in perfumery and artificial flavors.
