Vedclass · Answer

(D) Salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ contains one carboxylic group $(-COOH)$ and one phenolic hydroxyl group $(-OH)$. It acts as a monobasic acid due to the $-COOH$ group. It reacts with neutral $FeCl_3$ to give a violet color (due to the phenolic group) and with $NaHCO_3$ to release $CO_2$ gas (effervescence). Methyl salicylate is an ester known as 'oil of wintergreen' and is found in several natural oils. Therefore,the statement that it is not found in natural oils is incorrect.
