2,5-Dimethoxy-p-cymene, or thymohydroquinone dimethyl ether, is a phytochemical found in the essential oils of plants within the family Asteraceae. These essential oils, which contain the compound as a major component of the oil, have antifungal,[1] antibacterial,[2] and insecticidal[3] properties.
Natural occurrence
2,5-Dimethoxy-p-cymene occurs in a variety of different plants' essential oils. Examples include:
- Ayapana triplinervis (92.8%)[4]
- Apium leptophyllum (50.7 to 80.24%)[5]
- Cyathocline purpurea (57.4%)[2]
- Arnica montana (32.6%)[6]
- Laggera crispata (32.2%)[7]
- Blumea perrottetiana (30.0%)[3]
- Eupatorium capillifolium (20.8%)[8]
- Sphaeranthus indicus (18.2%)[9]
- Limbarda crithmoides (16.4)[10]
- Bubonium imbricatum (16.2%)[1]
Chemical synthesis
2,5-Dimethoxy-p-cymene can be synthesized from carvacrol by aromatic halogenation followed by nucleophilic substitution with sodium methoxide and Williamson ether synthesis using methyl iodide.[11]
