2-Isopropoxyphenol Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Isopropoxyphenol is prepared by monoetherification of catechol with isopropyl halides in the presence of alkali-metal salts and either a phase transfer catalyst or a polyhydroxyalkyl monoether in an autoclave. This compound is the starting material for the synthesis of the pesticide Propoxur (2-isopropoxyphenyl methylcarbamate).

Chemical Properties

clear light yellow to light red-brown liquid

Uses

2-Isopropoxyphenol was used as a target chemical in developing a method to measure the urinary phenolic metabolites of pesticides.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-isopropoxyphenol is a member of phenols and an aromatic ether.

General Description

2-Isopropoxyphenol is a metabolite of propoxur.
