1, 2-Dimethox/ybenzen/e, commonly known as veratrole, is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(OCH3)2. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor and slight solubility in water.

It is the dimethyl eth/er derived from pyrocatechol, too.

1, 2-Dimethox/ybenzen/e is naturally occurring. Its biosynthesis entails the methylation of guaiacol by guaiacol O-methyltransferase.1, 2-Dimethox/ybenzen/e is an insect attractant.

Guaiacol O-methyltransferase gene is first scent gene discovered so far in any plant species.

1, 2-Dimethox/ybenzen/e is a building block for the organic synthesis of other aromatic compounds. Veratrole is relatively electron-rich and thus readily undergoes electrophilic substitution. An example of the use of veratrole is in the synthesis of Domipizone.

Veratrole can easily be brominated with NBS to give 4-bromoveratrole.
