3,4-Dimethoxyphenethyl alcohol

3,4-二甲氧基苯乙醇

3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl ethanol is a product of the asymmetric synthesis of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid. It has been shown to have high redox potentials and hydrochloric acid resistance. 3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl ethanol has been used in the delignification of cellulose fibers and has also been shown to have photophysical and photochemical properties. This compound binds with hydroxyl groups on proteins, which may be due to its ability to undergo acylation reactions. The binding of 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl ethanol with human liver microsomes was found to be rapid and reversible. Kinetic analysis showed that this binding can be explained by substrate binding or acylation reaction.
