2-M-ethoxy-4-vinylphenol is an aromatic substance used as a flavoring agent. It is one of the compounds responsible for the natural aroma of buckwheat.

Some insects such as Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Red palm weevil) use this substance for chemical signaling (pheromones).

The aroma of pure substance was described as: apple, spicy, peanut, wine-like or clove and curry.

Ferulic acid is converted by certain strains of yeast, notably strains used in brewing of wheat beers, such as Torulaspora delbrueckii to 2-m-ethoxy-4-vinylphenol which gives beers such as Weissbier and Wit their distinctive "clove" flavor. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (dry brewer's yeast) and Pseudomonas fluorescens are also able to convert trans-ferulic acid into 2-m-ethoxy-4-vinylphenol.
