4'-Hydroxy-3'-methylacetophenone

4'-Hydroxy-3'-methylacetophenone is a phenolic volatile compound. 4'-Hydroxy-3'-methylacetophenone can be isolated from Hawaiian green coffee beans (Coffea Arabica L.). 4'-Hydroxy-3'-methylacetophenone is believed to possess potent antioxidant activity similar to that of other phenolic volatile compounds, Thymol (HY-N6810) and Eugenol (HY-N0337). 4'-Hydroxy-3'-methylacetophenone also can be used to synthesize heterocyclic compounds which have antimycobacterial activity[1][2].
