| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
l-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone has an odor and taste similar
to anise. May be obtained by boiling α- or β-anetholglycol with
a 20% solution of sulfuric acid, or from l-(p-methoxyphenyl)-
propan-l,2-ol by treatment with diluted sulfuric acid. | [Chemical Properties]
1-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone has an odor and taste similar to anise. | [Chemical Properties]
Pale Yellow Liquid | [Occurrence]
Reported found in Chinese star anise and in Russian star anise; also reported found in sweet and common fen nel, chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) and Illicium verum and cherry | [Uses]
A volatile compound released by flowering plants to attractant insects | [Application]
4-Methoxyphenylacetone is used occasionally in
perfumes, but more frequent ly in flavor compositions.
In fruit and imitation Vanilla, sometimes
in Walnut or Cherry flavors, it may be used
in traces, equivalent to 0.5 to 5 ppm in the
finished product. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone is an alkylbenzene. | [Preparation]
Obtained by boiling α- or β-anetholglycol with a 2% solution of sulfuric acid, or from 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-propan-1,2-ol
by treatment with diluted sulfuric acid. | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 15 ppm: sweet spicy, with green anisic, minty nuances. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 61, p. 1748, 1996 DOI: 10.1021/jo9518314 | [General Description]
Asymmetric amination of 4-methoxyphenylacetone was studied. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by ingestion andother routes. A skin irritant. A flammable liquid. |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Aroma]
Mild, yet somewhat "gassy" Hawthorne-Anise type odor of good tenacity. It has some
resemblance to Methylacetophenone, but is
not nearly as harsh or pungent. |
