Usage

General Description

2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene, also known as veratrole or 1,4-dimethoxy-2-ethylbenzene, is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a fragrance and flavoring agent in various products, including perfumes, soaps, and food items. It is also utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. 2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene is a member of the ether family, and its chemical structure consists of a benzene ring with two methoxy (CH3O) groups and an ethyl (C2H5) group attached to different carbon atoms. 2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene is considered to be relatively stable and low in toxicity, but it should be handled with care and stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames.

Spinazarin and ethylspinazarin, pigments of the sea urchin Scaphechinus mirabilis

2,3,5,8-Tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (spinazarin) and 6-ethyl-2,3,5,8-tetrahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (ethylspinazarin) were first isolated from the sea urchin Scaphechinus mirabilis. The structures of spinazarins were established based on analysis of spectroscopic data. A preparative synthetic route to ethylspinazarin was proposed.

Several potentially bis(alkylating) bis(quinones) (3-5) and 1,4- and 1,3-bis(alkylating) monoquinones (6-13) belonging to general structure 2,2'-ethylenebis[5-[(leaving group) methyl]-1,4-benzoquinone] (3-5) and 2,5- and 2,6-bis[(leaving group)methyl]-1,4

Psychotomimetic phenylisopropylamines. 5. 4 alkyl 2,5 dimethoxyphenylisopropylamines

A homologous series of 4 alkyl 2,5 dimethoxyphenylisopropylamines (alkyl = H through n C5H11 and t C4H9) was synthesized and compared with mescaline as serotonin agonists in a sheep umbilical preparation. The three carbon homolog 6d was found to be the most potent of the straight chain series in accordance with its observed psychotomimetic effectiveness in man.
