General description

Methyl 5-methylsalicylate is an ester. It acts as ligand and forms novel nonanuclear Tb(III) clusters. The photophysical properties of these clusters have been studied.[1]

Application

Methyl 5-methylsalicylate is the suitable reagent employed in study for the identification of a pheromone component in parasitoid wasp Spalangia endius.[2] It may be used for the synthesis of 2,6-dimethylchromanone.[3]
