Salicylamide(CAT: R049848) is an aromatic amide derived from salicylic acid, featuring both hydroxyl and amide functional groups in the ortho configuration on a benzene ring. It exhibits analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties and has been historically used as an over-the-counter pain reliever. In addition to its pharmaceutical relevance, salicylamide serves as a building block in organic synthesis for developing chelating agents, fluorescent probes, and metal complexes due to its ability to coordinate through both oxygen and nitrogen atoms. Its dual functionality makes it useful in medicinal chemistry, supramolecular design, and the preparation of biologically active derivatives and materials.
