Description and Uses

2-Methoxy-4-methylphenol has a characteristic aromatic odor (sweet, spicy, slightly vanilla-like) and a somewhat bitter taste (vanilla-like). May be prepared by methylation of homopyrocatechin using dimethyl sulfate and alkali; also by hydrogenation of vanillin.

2-Methoxy-4-methylphenol is used for blending baking and smoked food flavors. Excellent additive and modifier in artificial Ylang-Ylang, Cassie-bases, Jasmin bases, Lily, Gardenia, etc. Finds use in flavor compositions for imitation Vanilla, Clove, various fruit compositions, Rum flavors, etc. and in Nut-Nougat flavor bases. Concentration will be about 0.02 to 1 ppm in the finished consumer product. In beverages, however, it may be as high as 10 to 20 ppm.
