Reaction Steps

Pentaerythritol salicylate was prepared by the method described in Example 1 for the preparation of glycerol salicylate except that the reactants were pentaerythritol (34.04 g; 0.25 moles), methyl salicylate (86.72 g; 0.57 moles) and sodium methoxide (0.41 g; 0.0075 moles). The final methyl salicylate level was 12.5%.
