4-Methylsalicylic acid (CAS 50-85-1) is a methyl-substituted salicylic acid appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder. The methyl group para to the hydroxyl modulates the electronic and steric environment of the salicylate core, making it a useful building block for dyes, pharmaceuticals and chelating agents.
