Usage: Guaiacol is an important organic synthetic intermediate with a wide range of applications, mainly used in the following fields:
In the field of medicine, it is used to synthesize guaiacol benzenesulfonate (potassium guaiacol sulfonate), which has the effects of expectorant and treating digestive disorders, and can be used as a local anesthetic or preservative.
Spice industry: It is the key raw material for producing a variety of spices, such as eugenol, vanillin and artificial musk. It is often used to prepare essence such as coffee, vanilla, smoke and tobacco.
Dyes and Chemicals: Used as an intermediate in dye synthesis and also as a dye due to its ability to react with oxygen for color development.
Other applications: as an antioxidant in cosmetics (often used in combination with enhancers and metal ion chelating agents), as well as as as a standard substance for organic synthesis and analytical determination
