Gradually change color under light. Relative density 1.44. Boiling point about 211℃/2.67kPa. 76℃ sublimation. Decomposed into phenol and carbon dioxide under rapid heating at atmospheric pressure. Easily soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, benzene, acetone, turpentine, not easily soluble in water.
Salicylic acid, also known as willow acid, is more acidic than benzoic acid, darkens in sunlight, becomes a purplish-red chelate when it meets iron ions, reacts with ferric chloride in purple, is unstable to heat, and is easily decarboxylated to phenol when heated to 200℃. In nature, salicylic acid mostly exists in the form of methyl ester in birch bark oil, the content of up to 96%. It also exists in cinnamon bark oil, violet oil and wintergreen oil.
