Another common derivative product of salicylic acid is methyl salicylate, \ch{C8H8O3}, commonly referred to
as wintergreen oil. Methyl salicylate is commonly used in edibles (e.g. gum, mints), perfumes, and pain-relief
ointments (e.g. Icy Hot, BenGay). Methyl salicylate also differs with salicylic acid by a single ester group and
has simply been esterified differently than ASA. \\
