3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is the organic compound with the formula
(C2H5O)(HO)C6H3CHO. This colorless solid consists of a benzene ring with hydroxyl, ethoxy,
and formyl groups on the 4, 3, and 1 positions, respectively.
As a flavorant, 3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is about three times as potent as vanillin and is
used in the production of chocolate.
3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a synthetic molecule, not found in nature. It is prepared via
several steps from catechol, beginning with ethylation to give "guethol" . This ether condenses
with glyoxylic acid to give the corresponding mandelic acid derivative , which via oxidation and
decarboxylation gives ethylvanillin.
