1-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone is a derivative of Guaiacol, a precursor to various flavorants, such as eugenol and vanillin. | [Preparation]
Preparation by Fries rearrangement of 2-methoxyphenyl propionate, (b.p.20 140–143°) with aluminium chloride in nitrobenzene, first at 60–80° for 1 h, then at r.t. overnight, at 60° for 1 h or at 50° for 5 h (44%) ; with aluminium chloride (2 mol) in nitromethane at r.t. for 24 h (65%) with aluminium chloride in carbon disulfide with titanium tetrachloride (2 mol) in nitromethane at r.t. for 24 h (62%) with stannic chloride (2 mol) in nitromethane at r.t. for 24 h (69%) with antimony pentachloride (2 mol) in nitromethane at r.t. for 24 h (28%) with formation of important tars. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
