Uses

 Guaiacol is a precursor to various flavorants such as eugenol and vanillin. Its derivatives are used medicinally as an expectorant, antiseptic, and local anesthetic. It also can be used as a dye in chemical reactions as oxygen will turn guaiacol from colorless to brown.

Production

Guaiacol is produced industrially by methylation of catechol, using potash and dimethyl sulfate:
C6H4(OH)2 + (CH3O)2SO2 → C6H4(OH)(OCH3) + HO(CH3O)SO2
