The work describes the preparation, properties and application of colorimetric detector tube of methyl salicylate in air. The detector is based on the reaction of methyl salicylate with iron (III) chloride to form a violet-colored complex. The detector is suitable for semi-quantitative determination of the concentration of methyl salicylate as a simulant of mustard gas during testing of chemical protective suits. The paper also describes the application of the detector for the analysis of methyl salicylate in liquid samples.
