Methyl salicylate is an organic ester responsible for the minty smell of wintergreen. This procedure will use starting materials that can be found at a supermarket including aspirin, antifreeze, and drain cleaner.
Dosage
Salicylates are generally absorbed quickly through the gastrointestinal tract. The elimination half-life is generally between 3 and 12 hours at therapeutic doses, but this can increase unpredictably up to 30 hours in the setting of an overdose.
