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.
The phenolic unit can be found dimerized or further polymerized, creating a new class of polyphenol. For example, ellagic acid is a dimer of gallic acid and forms the class of ellagitannins, or a catechin and a gallocatechin can combine to form the red compound theaflavin, a process that also results in the large class of brown thearubigins in tea.
4 to form phenol (Hock process). In addition to the reactions above, many other more specialized reactions produce phenols: rearrangement of esters in the Fries rearrangement [7] [8] rearrangement of N-phenylhydroxylamines in the Bamberger rearrangement [9] [10] dealkylation of phenolic ethers; reduction of quinones

Methoxyphenol or hydroxyanisole may refer to: 2-Methoxyphenol (guaiacol, o -methoxyphenol, methylcatechol, 2-hydroxyanisole) 3-Methoxyphenol ( m -methoxyphenol, m -guaiacol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, 3-hydroxyanisole, m -hydroxyanisole)
Eugenol / ˈ j uː dʒ ɪ n ɒ l / is an allyl chain-substituted guaiacol, a member of the allylbenzene class of chemical compounds. [2] It is a colorless to pale yellow, aromatic oily liquid extracted from certain essential oils especially from clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil and bay leaf.
An example of a coupled reaction is the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to form the intermediate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase accompanied by the hydrolysis of ATP in the pathway of glycolysis. The resulting chemical reaction within the metabolic pathway is highly thermodynamically favorable and, as a ...
Non-climacteric fruits ripen without ethylene and respiration bursts, the ripening process is slower, and for the most part they will not be able to ripen if the fruit is not attached to the parent plant. [3] Examples of climacteric fruits include apples, bananas, melons, apricots, tomatoes, as well as most stone fruits.
