4 - Benzyloxyphenol, recognized chemically for its distinct structure, manifests as a fine, white to off - white powder. Under a microscope, the powder's particles are relatively uniform in size, with a granular yet smooth appearance, allowing for easy handling and flow, which is beneficial for its applications in diverse scientific and industrial processes.
This compound emits a faintly aromatic, phenolic odor. Although the smell is not overpowering, it is characteristic enough to help identify the substance. When it comes to solubility, 4 - Benzyloxyphenol shows poor solubility in polar solvents like water. However, it readily dissolves in many organic solvents such as ethanol, and toluene. This solubility profile is crucial in its processing, extraction, and use in various chemical reactions.

(1) Monobenzone is the monobenzyl ether. Monobenzone occurs as a white, almost tasteless crystalline powder, soluble in alcohol and practically insoluble in water.
(2) Monobenzone is a compound used as a topical drug for medical depigmentation. The topical application of monobenzone in animals decreases the excretion of melanin from melanocytes. The same action is thought to be responsible for the depigmenting effect of the drug in humans. Monobenzone may cause destruction of melanocytes thus, bringing about permanent dipigmentation in vitiligo patients.
(3) Monobenzone is the monobenzyl ether. Monobenzone powder can be compounded to make a depigmenting cream. It is used to whiten patchy skin and create and even skin tone that is pale and smooth.
(4) Monobenzone USP, is a strong depigmentation agent, used to treat the patients suffering from vitiligo.
(5) Monobenzone 20% ointment is used specifically for vitiligo.
