Description

4-Methoxybenzoin is a phenolic compound that belongs to the carbinols. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that can be synthesized by heating benzaldehyde with methanol and sodium carbonate in ethanol. 4-Methoxybenzoin is used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals, such as quinidine, anisole, thiosemicarbazide and hydrochloric acid. 4-Methoxybenzoin has been shown to react with cellulose acetate to form an acidic photodegradation product. This reaction can be suppressed by adding sulfuric acid or sodium sulfite.
