Salicin

A colorless crystal or white powder
Salicin is an organic substance with chemical formula C thirteen H eighteen O seven , colorless crystal or white powder, soluble in water, soluble in boiling water, insoluble in ethanol (1:90), insoluble in ether or chloroform, but soluble in alkali solution, pyridine or glacial acetic acid, with hygroscopic properties. It is widely found in the bark and leaves of many willow and poplar plants. For example, salicin can reach 30% in the bark of purple willow.

Salicin has antipyretic and analgesic effects. It was used to treat rheumatism in the past and has been replaced by other drugs. Because it can produce Salicylic alcohol , easy to be oxidized to produce salicylic acid, so it was once synthetic Salicylates The main source of drugs, salicylic acid drugs have been produced by synthetic method in the pharmaceutical industry
