4-(2-Methoxyethoxy)phenol

Description:
4-(2-Methoxyethoxy)phenol, also known by its CAS number 51980-60-0, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with a methoxyethoxy substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic (phenolic) and hydrophilic (ether) groups. The methoxyethoxy group enhances its potential for use as a surfactant or emulsifier in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, 4-(2-Methoxyethoxy)phenol may exhibit antioxidant properties, making it of interest in formulations aimed at protecting against oxidative stress. Its chemical stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and other interactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
