| | 4-Methoxyphenol Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | 4-Methoxyphenol is a colorless to white, waxy solid with an odor of caramel and phenol. A combustible solid. Molecular weight= 124.15;Boiling point=243℃; Freezing/Melting point=5253℃; Flash point=132℃. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 1, Reactivity 0. Slightly soluble in water. | | Chemical Properties | 4-Methoxyphenol is a colorless to white, waxy solid with an odor of caramel and phenol. It is a combustible solid. It is used as an inhibitor for acrylic monomers and as a stabilizer for chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethyl cellulose, and UV inhibitors. | | Uses | 4-Methoxyphenol is an active ingredient and used in dermatology. It is employed as a pharmaceutical drug in skin depigmentation. It is used as polymerization inhibitors. For example, in the radical polymerization of acryaltes and styrene monomers. It is also used as an intermediate in the preparationagrochemicals, liquid crystals. It acts as a stabilizer for the formulation of inks, toners and adhesives. It is mainly used as an additive for textile and leather industries. | | Indications | Mequinol (4-hydroxyanisole) is a substrate of the enzyme tyrosinase and acts
as a competitive inhibitor of melanogenesis. | | Synthesis | 4-Methoxyphenol was synthesised according to Oxidation with H2O2 and a Diselenide catalyst.
p-Anisaldehyde (50 mmol) is dissolved in CH2Cl2 (100mL) and (o-NO2PhSe)2 (2 mmol) and 30% H2O2 (13mL, 128 mmol) are added. The mixture is stirred magnetically at room temperature (water bath) for 30 minutes. Insoluble catalyst is removed by filtration and washed with CH2Cl2 (20mL) and water (20mL). It can be reused after drying. To the filtrate and washings, water (100mL) is added, and the layers are separated after shaking. The organic layer is washed subsequently with 10% NaHSO3 (100mL), 10% Na2CO3 (100mL), water (100mL) and dried over Na2SO4. 4-methoxyphenol is obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of the residue. Yield: 93%. | | Definition | ChEBI: P-methoxyphenol is a member of phenols and a member of methoxybenzenes. It has a role as a metabolite. | | Reactions | 4-methoxyphenol(4-MP) may be used in the synthesis of butylated hydroxy anisoles via alkylation with methyl tert-butyl ether over a non-zeolitic solid acidic catalyst. This process is eco-friendly when compared to the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. 4-MP may also react with aqueous nitrous acid to form 2-nitro-4-methoxyphenol and benzoquinone in varying ratios depending on the reaction conditions. 4-MP can be used as a building block in designing β-cyclodextrin 4-methoxyphenol conjugates that can be potential ligands for drug complexation. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 42, p. 1479, 1977 DOI: 10.1021/jo00428a054

It is used as a stabilizer and UV inhibitor in various polymers. | | First aid | If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. | | storage | Protect containers from physical damage. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where 4-methoxyphenol is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. | | Shipping | UN3335 Aviation regulated solid, n.o.s., Hazard
