Acetylphenol is the ester of phenol and acetic acid.
Acetylphenol can be produced by reacting phenol (Which can be produced by decarboxylation of aspirin)with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride.

Acetylphenol can be separated into phenol and an acetate salt, via saponification: heating the Acetylphenol with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, will produce phenol and an acetate salt (sodium acetate, if sodium hydroxide were used).

Acetylphenol mechanisms of action include decreased protein prenylation, activation of the peroxisome proliferation-activated receptors, inhibition of DNA methylation, and depletion of glutamine.
Acetylphenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenol esters.

These are aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring substituted by a hydroxyl group and an ester group.
Acetylphenol has a phenolic-like taste.

Acetylphenol is an aromatic ester.
Acetylphenol levels in urine are marker for the diagnosis of some forms of unipolar major depressive disorders.
Acetylphenol undergoes Fries rearrangement to form a mixture of o- and p-hydroxyacetophenones which are useful intermediates in manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Acetylphenol is produced from bacterial degradation of unabsorbed phenylalanine.

In health, beneficial intestinal bacteria produce some B-vitamins and provide stimulus for proper immune function.
However, if your stomach acid is not adequate, if you fail to digest protein, or if your diet does not supply sufficient fiber, the resulting overgrowth of unfavorable bacteria can release toxic products that your body must remove.
