Syringol (2,6- dimethoxyphenol ) is an aromatic chemical compound that is derived from both the phenol and of the Dimethoxybenzolen. The structure consists of a benzene ring with an attached hydroxyl group (-OH ) and two methoxy groups ( - OCH3) as substituents. It belongs to the group of Dimethoxyphenole, a group of six constitutional isomers. It is a dimethyl ether of pyrogallol. The name comes from - analogous to Syringaalkohol, syringaldehyde, syringic or acetosyringone - from the Latin name of the lilac (Syringa ).

Syringol produced by decarboxylation of syringic.
