p-Anisaldehyde CAS#123-11-5
p-Anisaldehyde, also known as anisaldehyde or 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, is a colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature. It has an odor that is similar to hawthorn. It is insoluble in water, with a solubility of only 0.3%, but it is slightly soluble in propylene glycol and glycerol. It is easily soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, acetone, chloroform, and most organic solvents. Anisicaldehyde can also be volatilized with water vapor. Anisicaldehyde occurs naturally in fennel oil, cumin oil, dill oil, acacia flowers, and balsam pear extract. It is obtained through oxidation separation and extraction processes. This compound is commonly used as a fragrance base for hawthorn, sunflower, lilac, and other scents. It is also used as a blending spice for scents like freshly cut grass, silver and white acacia flowers, acacia, and balsam grass. Additionally, anisicaldehyde serves as an auxiliary agent for lily of the valley fragrance and a modifier for osmanthus fragrance.

Product Application Of p-Anisaldehyde CAS#123-11-5
4-Methoxybenzaldehyde is widely utilized in the fragrance and flavor industry. It finds application as an important intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, perfumes and pharmaceuticals like antihistamines. It is also used in the preparation of agrochemicals, dyes and plastic additives. A solution of para-anisaldehyde with acid and ethanol is used as stain in thin layer chromatography (TLC), which provides easy identification of different compounds. Concentrations usually 0.5 to 30 ppm in finished goods, and up to 75 ppm in chewing gum. The flavor threshold for Anisaldehyde on the average panel person is about 0.2 ppm. (Single chemical in Sugar water).
