Synthetic route
According to the chemical structure (hydroxyl of vanillol is etherified with ethyl), typical synthesis methods may include:
Williamson ether synthesis method: Vanillin alcohol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol) reacts with bromoethane under alkaline conditions.
Alternatively, etherification can be carried out between vanillin and ethanol using dehydration catalysts such as p-toluenesulfonic acid.
