Usage

General Description

"Alpha-ethoxy-p-cresol" is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of cresols, which are organic compounds derived from coal tar or petroleum. It is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a strong, phenolic odor. This chemical is commonly used as a fragrance additive in personal care products, such as soaps and perfumes, and in industrial applications as a solvent and antimicrobial agent. Additionally, it is used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. Alpha-ethoxy-p-cresol has low toxicity and is generally considered safe for use in these applications when used in accordance with appropriate regulations and guidelines.

Synthesis and Physical Properties of Alkoxymethylene Substituted Phenyl Cyclohexanecarboxylates

The homologous series of 4-alkoxymethylene-substituted-phenyl 4'-alkylcyclohexanecarboxylates are prepared.And their transition temperatures, bulk viscosities and birefringences have been measured comparing with the series of 4-alkoxy-substituted-phenyl 4'-alkylcyclohexanecarboxylates.The differences between the alkoxymethylene-substituted series and alkoxy-substituted series are discussed.Alkoxymethylene groups contribute to lowering the transition temperatures, and also reducing the bulk viscosities and optical anisotropy compared to the alkoxy groups as terminal groups of mesogens.This is apparently due to the higher flexibility of the alkoxymethylene groups, which affected the packing of molecules.
