Guaethol 
                        (2-ethoxy 
phenol) is 
                        an homologue of guaiacol (2-methoxy 
phenol). Alkoxy phenol molecules are used in perfumeries, 
flavorings, and in medicine such as local  antiseptic,  biocide and antiseptic. They 
                        are used in the manufacture of vanillin. In industry 
                        they are also used in 
manufacturing stabilizers and antioxidants for plastics and rubbers. Propenyl guaethol 
is a white powder 
with a vanilla flavor; melting point 85-86 C; soluble in fats, essential oils, and edible solvents; used for 
artificial vanilla flavoring.
