3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl Alcohol is a secondary metabolite of some lignin degrading fungi. Recent studies have been conducted to explore whether 3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl Alcohol, a product from the biodegradati on of lignocellulosic biomass, could be used as the fuel of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) to generate power.

Uses

3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol used as the fuel of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) to generate power. Veratrole alcohol is the raw material for the synthesis of cyclotriveratrylene which is used in host-guest chemistry.

Uses

3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl alcohol is widely used in the synthesis of various cyclotriveratrylenes (CTVs), which are cyclic molecular hosts with a cavity to accommodate guest molecules. It can also be used as a precursor in the total synthesis of salvianolic acid N.

Definition

ChEBI: (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol is a member of the class of benzyl alcohols that is benzyl alcohol in which the hydrogens at positions 3 and 4 of the phenyl group are substituted by methoxy groups. It has a role as a fungal metabolite. It is a member of benzyl alcohols, a primary alcohol and a dimethoxybenzene.
