It is a white solid with an intensely sweet floral odor. It is produced by several plant species.〔Karl-Georg Fahlbusch, Franz-Josef Hammerschmidt, Johannes Panten, Wilhelm Pickenhagen, Dietmar Schatkowski, , Kurt Bauer, Dorothea Garbe and Horst Surburg "Flavors and Fragrances" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', 2003, Wiley-VCH. 〕 It is prepared by methylation of para-hydroquinone. ==Occurrence== It occurs naturally in willow (''Salix''), tea, hyacinth, zucchini (''Cucurbita pepo'').〔 It appears to attract bees as it has a powerful response in their antenna.〔Andreas Juergens, Ulrike Glueck, Gregor Aas and Stefan Doetterl "Diel fragrance pattern correlates with olfactory preferences of diurnal and nocturnal flower visitors in Salix caprea (Salicaceae)" in ''Botanical journal of the Linnean Society'', 2014. 〕 In a study in mice, Brazilian researchers identified 1,4-dimethoxybenzene as the major psychoactive chemical in musk willow (''Salix aegyptiaca'') by its ability to cause somnolescence and depressed activity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「1,4-Dimethoxybenzene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
