Product Information
Name:2-Ethyl-5-methylphenol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:2-Ethyl-5-methylphenol is a natural product that belongs to the class of phenols. It is biosynthesized by the conversion of 2-methylacetophenone, which is found in styrene and exocrine glands in arachnids. This compound has been shown to be toxic to a number of bacteria, including strains resistant to antibiotics such as methicillin and cephalothin. The toxicity of 2-ethyl-5-methylphenol against bacteria may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis and disrupt cellular membranes. The pathways leading from 2-methylacetophenone to 2-ethyl-5-methylphenol involve two steps: nitration followed by ethylation.2E5MP can be synthesized using acetone and 3- methyl1 -butanol as precursors, which are scalable and inexpensive chemicals.
