IUPAC Name :2-Methoxyphenol
Synonym: Pyrocatechol monomethyl ether 1-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzene
CAS no.: 90-05-1
Molecular Formula: C7H8O2
Molecular Weight:124.14 g/mol

Guaiacol is a naturally occurring organic compound, known for its flavouring properties. It is clear colourless to slightly yellow coloured liquid (above 28°C) or crystalline solid mass with characteristic aromatic odour.

Guaiacol is manufactured in industry by methylation of pyrocatechol and mainly used as a precursor for synthesis of Vanillin. It is also used in synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, flavouring agents and perfumery products.

APPLICATION:

Flavours & Fragrances:
Guaiacol is used in the synthesis of various flavours and fragrances such as Vanillin, Isovanillin, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Zingerone, 4-Ethylguaiacol & 4-Vinylguaiacol etc.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients:
Guaiacol is used in the synthesis of expectorant such as Guaifenesin and Sulfoguaiacol. Drug intermediates obtained from Guaiacol are used in the synthesis of muscle relaxant and cardio vascular drugs such as Methacarbamol, Carvedilol and Ranolazine.

CATECHOL
IUPAC Name: Benzene-1,2-diol
Synonym: Pyrocatechol 1,2-Benzenediol, 2-Hydroxyphenol, 1,2-Dihydroxybenzene, o-Benzenediol, o-Dihydroxybenzene
CAS no :120-80-9

Molecular Formula: C6H6O2
Molecular Weight: 110.11g/mol

Catechol, also known as pyrocatechol or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H4(OH)2. It is the ortho isomer of the three isomeric benzenediols. Catechol is available as flakes and 85% solution in solvents. It is produced industrially by the hydroxylation of phenol using hydrogen peroxide.

C6H5OH + H2O2 → C6H4(OH)2 + H2O

Applications:
- Used largely in the production of pesticides
-Used as a precursor to fine chemicals such as perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
- Several flavours and fragrances are prepared starting from catechol.
- Piperonal, a flowery scent, is prepared from the methylene diether of catechol
- Vanillin, a flavour and fragrance component is synthetically produced using Catechol. CFS uses environment-friendly process to manufacture it. Vanillin produced through this route is safe for food applications.
- Used in production of ethylvanillin, a component of chocolate confectioneries.
- Used for replacing sandalwood oil
- Guaiacol is prepared by methylation of catechol

Name: Guethol
Chemical Name: 2-Ethoxyphenol
