Anisole（Cat No.:R022227）, also known as methoxybenzene, is an aromatic ether featuring a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a benzene ring. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor and is widely used as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis. Anisole serves as a starting material for the production of perfumes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Its electron-donating methoxy group enhances reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it valuable in the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Anisole is also utilized in flavor and fragrance formulations.
