APPLICATIONS

  1. Guaiacol is widely used in industry. Guaiacol is often used to produce various spices, such as Syringol, vanillin and artificial musk. Guaiacol is also widely used in medicine. It can be used to synthesize Benzenesulfonic acid Guaiacol (Guaiacol potassium sulfonate), as a local anesthetic or preservative, as well as to expectorant chemobooks and treat indigestion. Due to its reducibility, it is often added in small amounts as an antioxidant in cosmetics and often used together with synergists, metal ion chelators, etc. Guaiacol is also used as a dye because of its dark color when it reacts with oxygen. Guaiacol is also used as a raw material for organic synthesis and as a reference material for analysis and determination.
