Common Name3,4-Dimethylphenol
Description3,4-Dimethylphenol, also known as 3,4-xylenol or 3,4-DMP is a dimethylated derivative of phenol. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as para-cresols. Para-cresols are compounds containing a para cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing one hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 4. 3,4-Dimethylphenol can also be classified as a xylenol. It is one of the six structural isomers of dimethylphenol or xylenol wherein two methyl groups are substituted at different positions of the phenol ring. The six isomeric xylenols have similar physical properties. 3,4-Dimethylphenol exists as cream to tan crystals that that are soluble in water. Xylenols, such as 3,4-Dimethylphenol are traditionally extracted from coal tar. Coal tar is the thick dark liquid that is produced in the production of coke or coal gas from coal. Xylenols are used in the manufacture of antioxidants. 3,4-Dimethylphenol has a slightly smoky and earthy character that provides nice roasted notes to seafood, mushroom and coffee flavors. It has a smoky, sweet or burnt taste and is used as a flavoring ingredient in a number of foods to impart a smoky flavor or smoky characteristic (PMID: 29597303 ). 3,4-Dimethylphenol occurs naturally in plants and has been detected in coffee and coffee products. 3,4-Dimethylphenol is a potentially toxic compound. Dimethylphenols are found in cannabis smoke. 3,4-Dimethylpheno is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
