1-Ethyl-3-methoxybenzene, also known as ethyl guaiacol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and an ethyl group (-C₂H₅) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet, and smoky aroma, often associated with the scent of certain woods and spices. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. Ethyl guaiacol is commonly used in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as in the production of certain pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it can be found in natural sources, such as the smoke of burning wood, which contributes to its use in food flavoring and as a smoke flavoring agent. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
