4-Methylcatechol Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Chemical Properties

white to brown powder or chunks

Uses

4-Methylcatechol is used to synthesize antimicrobial, antioxidant. It also acts as effective inhibitor. It can be used to produce 4-bromo-5-methyl-pyrocatechol. It Increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Content and mRNA Expression in Cultured Brain Cells and in Rat Brain In Vivo.

Definition

ChEBI: A methylcatechol having a single methyl substituent at the 4-position. It has been isolated from Picea abies.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the catechol from *C6H6. The purity is checked by TLC. Crystallise it from high-boiling pet ether and distil it in a vacuum. [Beilstein 6 IV 5878.]
