Anisyl alcohol (4-methoxybenzyl alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 OC 6 H 4 CH 2 OH. [1] It is a colorless liquid that is used as a fragrance and flavorant. It occurs naturally but is produced by reduction of the aldehyde or carboxylic acid. [2] It reacts with hydrogen bromide to give 4-methoxylbenzyl bromide. [3]
Chemistry [ edit ] Vanillyl alcohol can be produced by reducing vanillin with sodium borohydride under basic conditions, then quenching using a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid .
Under Corey–Kim conditions allylic and benzylic alcohols have a tendency to evolve to the corresponding allyl and benzyl chlorides unless the alcohol activation is very quickly followed by addition of triethylamine. In fact, Corey–Kim conditions —with no addition of triethylamine— are very efficient for the transformation of allylic and ...
4-Methoxybenzylthiol is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH 3 OC 6 H 4 CH 2 SH. A colorless, odiferous oil, it is a reagent used as a protected thiol . [ 1 ]
Anisyl acetate (4-methoxybenzyl acetate) is an acetate ester of anisyl alcohol. It is a naturally occurring flavor found in various fruits and types of vanilla . [ 1 ] It is also used as a flavoring agent to produce a flavor profile described variously as sweet, smooth, fruity (cherry or plum) and vanilla or almond.
Mequinol, MeHQ or 4-methoxyphenol, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 OC 6 H 4 OH. It is a phenol with a methoxy group in the para position. A colorless solid, it is used in dermatology [ 1 ] and organic chemistry .
Piperonal can be prepared by the oxidative cleavage of isosafrole or by using a multistep sequence from catechol or 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene.Synthesis from the latter chemical is accomplished through a condensation reaction with glyoxylic acid followed by cleaving the resulting α-hydroxy acid with an oxidizing agent.
Guaiacol (/ ˈ ɡ w aɪ ə k ɒ l /) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (OH)(OCH 3). It is a phenolic compound containing a methoxy functional group. Guaiacol appears as a viscous colorless oil, although aged or impure samples are often yellowish. It occurs widely in nature and is a common product of the pyrolysis of wood. [3]
