4-Ethylphenol

Description:
4-Ethylphenol, with the CAS number 123-07-9, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with an ethyl group attached to the para position of the benzene ring. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive, strong odor reminiscent of medicinal or phenolic scents. This compound is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. 4-Ethylphenol is known for its antimicrobial properties and is often studied in the context of its role in the flavor and aroma profiles of certain foods and beverages, particularly in wine, where it can contribute to off-flavors if present in high concentrations. Additionally, it is used in various industrial applications, including the synthesis of other chemicals and as an intermediate in the production of certain polymers. Safety considerations are important, as 4-ethylphenol can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate handling measures should be taken to minimize exposure.
