General description

2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol is one of the key volatile aroma compounds of buckwheat and okra.

Application


  • Anti-Ulcerative Colitis Effects and Active Ingredients in Ethyl Acetate Extract from Decoction of Sargentodoxa cuneata.: This research explores the therapeutic potential of Sargentodoxa cuneata in treating ulcerative colitis, highlighting 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol as one of its active ingredients. It offers valuable data for chemists working on new treatments for inflammatory diseases (Yu et al., 2023).

  • Phytochemical characterization, anti-diarrhoeal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory activities and toxicity profile of Ananas comosus (L.) Merr (pineapple) leaf in albino rats.: This comprehensive study assesses the medicinal properties of pineapple leaf, identifying 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol among its phytochemicals. It supports further research into its use for pain relief and anti-inflammatory purposes (Ugbogu et al., 2024).

A new strain Bacillus coagulans BK07 was isolated from decomposed wood-bark, based on its ability to grow on ferulic acid as a sole carbon source. This strain rapidly decarboxylated ferulic acid to 4-vinylguaiacol, which was immediately converted to vanillin and

The formation of 4-vinylguaiacol, guaiacol, and phenol during coffee roasting was monitored in real-time, using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A model is proposed, based on two connected reaction channels. One channel, termed the "low activation energy"
