| Description | 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene, also known as dimethyl hydroquinone or p-methoxy-anisole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying exactly two methoxy groups. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is a sweet, bitter, and fennel tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within peppermints. This could make 1,4-dimethoxybenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is one of three isomers of dimethoxybenzene. It occurs naturally in willow (Salix), tea, hyacinth, zucchini (Cucurbita pepo). It is produced by the methylation of hydroquinone using dimethylsulfate and an alkali.1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is mainly used in perfumes and soaps. It is an intermediate in synthesis of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(OCH3)2. It can be used as a developer in black and white film, and as a base in synthesizing catecholamines and phenethylamines. It is a white solid with an intensely sweet floral odor. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is found in Achillea abrotanoides, Foeniculum vulgare , Chondromyces crocatus, Clusia spiritu-sanctensis, Nymphaea lasiophylla, Nymphaea rudgeana , Nymphaea tenerinervia and Pyrola media. It appears to attract bees as it has a powerful response in their antenna. |
