Preparation method
Method one
It is derived from the vanilla bean.
Guaiacol is obtained from o-aminobanisole hydrolyzed by diazo, condensed with formaldehyde in the presence of nitrosodimethylaniline and catalyst, or reacted with trichloromethane under the catalysis of potassium hydroxide, and then purified by extraction, vacuum distillation and crystallization. It can also be made from wood pulp waste liquid, eugenol, guaiacol, safrole, etc.
