Salicylamide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	white or light pink crystals or powder
Usage	Analgesic.
General Description	Odorless white or slightly pink crystals. Bitter taste, leaves a sensation of warmth on the tongue. pH (saturated aqueous solution at 82°F) about 5. Sublimation begins at the melting point.
Air & Water Reactions	Salicylamide darkens on exposure to air. . Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	Salicylamide is an amide. Amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Salicylamide may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light.
Fire Hazard	Flash point data for Salicylamide are not available; however, Salicylamide is probably combustible.
