4-Vinyl Guaiacol

4-Vinyl Guaiacol (Synonym: 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol) is a compound naturally extracted from corn ethanol fermentation volatiles, and can also be formed via the decarboxylation of ferulic acid during fermentation processes. It typically presents as a colourless or pale yellow oily liquid, possessing a distinctive fermented aroma with a slight sweetness, complemented by clove-like and spicy phenolic notes.

4-Vinyl Guaiacol can be used as the ingredient of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fragrances and other synthetic application.
