What does 4-Vinylguaiacol smell like?

Sweet spicy clove and carnation over a phenolic, peppery, smoky-woody body with a powdery dry-out. The defining phenolic of wheat beer, roasted coffee and clove; very high impact, so it works in ppm traces and slots between guaiacol and eugenol in the guaiacol series.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
