4-Methoxyresorcinol

CAS: 6100-60-3

4-Methoxyresorcinol is a chemical compound that has the molecular formula CHNO. It has a hydroxyl group in the 4-position and a methyl group on the 8-position. The intramolecular hydrogen of this molecule is denatured by heating to about 220°C. This process converts it into resorcinol, which is structurally similar but has different properties. 4-Methoxyresorcinol can be used as a polymerization initiator for polycarboxylic acid or quinoline derivatives, and its analytical methods are used in determining its structure.
