The correct name is o (ortho)-methoxyphenol or 2-methoxyphenol. It is obtained by dry distillation of guaiac resin, hence the common name. It is also found in beech tar. It is a slightly yellowish white crystal with a peculiar odor. It is produced from 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (commonly known as catechol) and o -methoxyaniline (commonly known as o -anisidine). It is used to produce the fragrance vanillin. It is only slightly soluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents.
