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"

The release of ferulic acid and the subsequent thermal or enzymatic decarboxylation to 4-vinylguaiacol are inherent to the beer production process. Phenolic, medicinal, or clove-like flavors originating from 4-vinylguaiacol frequently occur in beer made with wheat or wheat malt. To

In order to utilize phenolic compounds in unused biomass resources, the metabolic pathway of ferulic acid by way of a white-rot fungus, Schizophyllum commune, was investigated. Ferulic acid was immediately degraded, and the formation of 4-vinyl guaiacol was confirmed by
