Guaiacol is a secondary plant substance found in guaiac trees , which is structurally derived from anisole and phenol .
history
Guaiacol was in 1826 by Otto Unspoiled first by distillation of guaiac made.
Occurrence
Guaiacol is found in wood tar creosote and in wood tars , beech wood and guaiac resin have the greatest content . Along with other phenols, guaiacol is formed by thermal or microbial degradation of lignin or phenolic acids (e.g. ferulic acid ) and is therefore found in many foods, especially in smoked products. Guaiacol is one of the aromas in whiskey, and it can also be responsible for the cork tone in wine.
properties
Guaiacol has a smoky, medicinal smell and tastes sweet. The aroma threshold in water is 3 ppb . With its strong smoky note, guaiacol contributes significantly to the coffee aroma and the aroma of smoked foods. According to Antoine, the vapor pressure function results from ln (P) = A− (B / (T + C)) (P in kPa, T in K) with A = 13.6745, B = 3378.850 and C = −104.630 im Temperature range from 373 to 463 K. The enthalpy of vaporization at the boiling point is 52.7 kJ · mol −1 .
With iron (III) ions ( iron (III) chloride ) a green color can be determined.
The methoxy group has little influence on the acidity of the phenolic OH group , the pK s value has only a very small difference to the phenol (9.99) on.
presentation
Guaiacol 2 is by methylation of pyrocatechol (catechol) 1 , by means of dimethyl sulfate produced. The dimethylated product, veratrol, is also produced as a by- product :
Gujacol can also be produced from o -anisidine by boiling (approx. 125 to 130 ° C) its diazonium salt :
use
Guaiacol is used in the fragrance industry to produce vanillin and eugenol . In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, it is used in drugs as an expectorant for bronchial diseases ( guaifenesin ). In coating technology it is used for the "anti-skinning" properties of inks and varnishes.
