1,4-Dimethoxybenzene Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Propertieswhite crystals or powder
Chemical PropertiesHydroquinone Dimethyl Ether occurs in hyacinth oil and has also been identified in tea. It is a white, crystalline solid (mp 57–58°C) with an intensely sweet, somewhat herbal, nut-like odor. Hydroquinone dimethyl ether is prepared by etherification of hydroquinone and is used in soap perfumes.
Chemical Propertiesp-Dimethoxybenzene has a bitter taste.
OccurrenceReported found in hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis L.) essential oil, Rhodophyllus icterius, papaya, peppermint oil, green tea, cherimoya and cooked shrimp
Uses1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is used as Pharmaceutical Intermediate. It is used in some paints and as a diazo dye. It is also used in perfumes and flavors in order to its floral odor. In addition, it is used on greasy skin, and with sulfur to treat acne, or as a dandruff treatment.
UsesWeathering agent in paints and plastics, fixative in perfumes, dyes, resin intermediate, cosmetics, especially suntan preparations, flavoring.
PreparationBy methylation of hydroquinone using dimethyl sulfate and alkali.
Synthesis Reference(s)Journal of the American Chemical Society, 83, p. 1251, 1961 DOI: 10.1021/ja01466a056
General DescriptionColorless crystals.
Air & Water ReactionsSlightly water soluble .
Reactivity Profile1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is an ether. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNotclassified
Purification MethodsSteam distil 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, then crystallise it from hexane or *benzene, and from MeOH or EtOH, but these are wasteful due to high solubilities. Dry it under vacuum. It also sublimes under vacuum. [Beilstein 6 IV 5718.]
