SALICYLIC ACID | USES
it facilitates desquamation by solubilizing the intercellular cement that binds scales in the stratum corneum, thereby loosening the keratin
KERATOLYTIC
SALICYLIC ACID | USES
the removal of stratum corneum suppresses fungal growth. also used for treatment of dandruff, acne, psoriasis, calluses, corns, keratosis pilaris, and warts

SALICYLIC ACID | REAGENTS
- LIMITING REACTANT
- precursor for the synthesis
- the methyl group on its structure is replaced with a hydrogen upon reaction
- this is achieved through hydrolysis
METHYL SALICYLATE
SALICYLIC ACID | REAGENTS
METHYL SALICYLATE:
the methyl group on its structure is replaced with a ____ upon reaction
HYDROGEN
SALICYLIC ACID | REAGENTS
METHYL SALICYLATE:
the replacement of methyl group with a hydrogen upon reaction is achieved through ____
hydrolysis
SALICYLIC ACID | REAGENTS
- CORROSIVE
- used to HYDROLYZE methyl salicylate forming disodium salicylate salt, methanol and water
- the volume used for the reaction is A LOT MORE than that of methyl salicylate
- this it to ensure that ALL ester groups present would easily separate
25% SODIUM HYDROXIDE
