Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $(D)$. $Salicylic \ acid$ $(C_7H_6O_3)$ contains one carboxylic acid group $(-COOH)$ and one phenolic hydroxyl group $(-OH)$. It acts as a monobasic acid because only the $-COOH$ group is acidic enough to react with bases like $NaHCO_3$. $Methyl \ salicylate$ is an ester formed by the esterification of $salicylic \ acid$ with $methanol$. $Salicylic \ acid$ gives a violet color with neutral $FeCl_3$ due to the phenolic group and brisk effervescence with $NaHCO_3$ due to the carboxylic acid group. $Methyl \ salicylate$ is commonly known as oil of wintergreen and occurs naturally in many essential oils. Therefore,the statement that it does not occur in natural oils is incorrect.
