5-Methoxyresorcinol was used in synthesis of isorobustin, substituted linear and angular benzofurocoumarins.
ChEBI: Flamenol is a member of the class of resorcinols that is phloroglucinol in which one of the phenolic hydrogens has been replaced by a methyl group. It has a role as a Brassica napus metabolite. It is a member of resorcinols and a monomethoxybenzene. It is functionally related to a phloroglucinol.
Kinetics of the aroxyl radical-scavenging action of 5-methoxyresorcinol has been investigated. The kinetics of reaction of 5,7-diisopropyl-tocopheroxyl radical (Toc) with 5-methoxyresorcinol has been measured by stopped-flow spectrophotometer.
