Description
2,4-Dimethylphenol (also named as 2,4-Xylenol) is a substituted phenol which occurs naturally. It can be also derived from the cresol fraction of petroleum or coal tars by fractional distillation and extraction with aqueous alkaline solution. It can be used as a feedstock for the production of phenolic antioxidants, disinfectants, solvents, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, fungicides, plasticizers, rubber chemicals, polyphenylene oxide, dyestuffs, wetting agents, and as an additive or constituent of gasolines, lubricants, and cresylic acid. It is an allowed liquid smoke flavoring agent in the EU.
