Product Description:

4-Methylanisole, also known as p-cresyl methyl ether, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H10O. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic floral, ylang-ylang, and mimosa-like odor. Its structure consists of a methyl-substituted benzene ring with a methoxy group at the para position. This compound is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent. It is a key component in the formulation of perfumes, cosmetics, and soaps, imparting sweet, floral, and powdery notes. It is also employed in the flavor industry to create fruity and nutty nuances. Additionally, 4-methylanisole serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of more complex aromatic ethers and other fine chemicals. Handling requires standard safety precautions for organic solvents. It is flammable and should be stored away from heat and open flames.
