Definition

ChEBI: 2-ethoxyphenol is an aromatic ether that is catechol in which one of the hydroxy groups has been alkylated to give the corresponding ethyl ether. A low-melting (20-25 ℃), high-boiling (216-217 ℃) smoke flavour compound. It has a role as a flavouring agent. It is an aromatic ether, a volatile organic compound and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a catechol.

General Description

2-Ethoxyphenol is a smoke flavour compound and forms complexes with iron (III).

Industrial uses

2-Ethoxyphenol is prepared analogously to guaiacol by monoetherification of catechol. The compound is an intermediate in the synthesis of ethyl vanillin.
