《The fate of methyl salicylate in the environment and its role as signal in multitrophic interactions》 was written by Ren, Yangang; McGillen, Max R.; Daele, Veronique; Casas, Jerome; Mellouki, Abdelwahid. SDS of cas: 119-36-8 And the article was included in Science of the Total Environment in 2020. The article conveys some information:
Phytohormones emitted into the atm. perform many functions relating to the defense, pollination and competitiveness of plants. To be effective, their atm. lifetimes must be sufficient that these signals can be delivered to their numerous recipients. We investigate the atm. loss processes for Me salicylate (MeSA), a widely emitted plant volatile. Simulation chambers were used to determine gas-phase reaction rates with OH, NO3, Cl and O3; photolysis rates; and deposition rates of gas-phase MeSA onto organic aerosols. Room temperature rate coefficients are determined (in units of cm3 mol.-1/s) to be (3.20 ± 0.46) x 10-12, (4.19 ± 0.92) x 10-15, (1.65 ± 0.44) x 10-12 and (3.33 ± 2.01) x 10-19 for the reactions with OH, NO3, Cl and O3 resp. Photolysis is negligible in the actinic range, despite having a large reported near-UV chromophore. Conversely, aerosol uptake can be competitive with oxidation under humid conditions, suggesting that this compound has a high affinity for hydrated surfaces. A total lifetime of gas-phase MeSA of 1-4 days was estimated based on all these loss processes. The competing sinks of MeSA demonstrate the need to assess lifetimes of semiochems. holistically, and we gain understanding of how atm. sinks influence natural communication channels within complex multitrophic interactions. This approach can be extended to other compounds that play vital roles in ecosystems, such as insect pheromones, which may be similarly affected during atm. transport. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Methyl Salicylate(cas: 119-36-8SDS of cas: 119-36-8)
Methyl Salicylate(cas: 119-36-8) is a natural herbivore-induced plant volatile. It is a naturally occurring product in trees, legumes, exotic plants, vegetables, berries, and the primary constituent of the oil of wintergreen.Methyl Salicylate is produced from salicylic acid.SDS of cas: 119-36-8
