4-Methoxyphenol, also known as Mequinol or MeHQ, is a white, waxy solid with a caramel-like phenolic odor, naturally occurring in anise and sweet marjoram. It is a versatile chemical used as a skin-whitening agent due to its hypo-pigmenting properties, a stabilizer for materials like chlorinated hydrocarbons and acrylic monomers, and an organic building block in synthesizing butylated hydroxyanisoles. It finds applications in developing electrochemical immunosensors, dyestuffs, and as an analytical reference standard in cosmetic analysis. Additionally, it is employed in dermatology, pharmaceuticals, and plasticizers. Physically, it has a melting point of 126.5°F, a boiling point of 469°F, and is soluble in benzene, acetone, and alcohol. Despite its utility, 4-methoxyphenol is combustible, can cause allergic reactions, and poses hazards such as serious eye irritation, making proper handling and storage essential.
