Wintergreen oil (Methyl salicylate) is an

plants which produce it are called wintergreens, hence the common name. This
compound is used as a fragrance. It is also found in liniments (rubbing
ointments). Distilled with holly leaves

Methyl salicylate can be
produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol. Commercial methyl
salicylate is now synthesized, but in the past, it was commonly distilled from
the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern
