 |  | Dimethoxybenzene Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly brown liquid |  | Chemical Properties | m-Dimethoxybenzene has a very powerful sweet-earthy, intensely, nut-like aroma. |  | Occurrence | Reported found in Gruyere de Comte, blue cheeses, filberts and cognac |  | Uses | Organic intermediate, flavoring.
 |  | Uses | 1,3-Dimethoxybenzene is used for the preparation of oxathiane spiroketal donors. It is also used for the formation of pi- and O-ylidic complexes with dichlorocarbene. Further, it acts as a flavoring agent. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 1,3-Dimethoxybenzene is a member of methoxybenzenes. |  | Preparation | From resorcinol by methylation using dimethyl sulfate and alka |  | Taste threshold values | Chemical, medicinal, spice, cooling root beer-like. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 55, p. 991, 1990 DOI: 10.1021/jo00290a033 |  | General Description | 1,3-Dimethoxybenzene can be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is reported to be found in the volatiles of port wine and Roquefort cheese. |  | Purification Methods | Extract it with aqueous NaOH, and water, then dry it. Fractionally distil it from BaO or Na.
