2-METHOXYPHENYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Guaiacyl acetate has an odor similar to that of guaiacol. It may be synthesized from guaiacol and excess acetic anhydride in the presence of trace amounts of H2S04.

Chemical Properties

Guaiacyl acetate has an odor similar to that of guaiacol.

Occurrence

Reported found in cocoa

Definition

ChEBI: Guaicyl acetate is a benzoate ester and a member of phenols.

Preparation

From guaiacol and excess acetic anhydride in the presence of trace amounts of H2SO4.

Aroma threshold values

Aroma characteristics at 5.0%: phenolic, guaiacol, smoky and harm-like with a woody, vanilla nuance.

Taste threshold values
