Anisole

This Anisole (methoxybenzene, CAS 100-66-3), traded rather than manufactured by Shanghai Kesenberg Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. at industrial grade, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor, used mainly as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs, fragrances and dyes and as a solvent for coatings, resins and pesticides; its antioxidant character also lends it use as a preservative or stabilizer. The supplier notes it is flammable and can irritate the eyes, requiring appropriate handling precautions, and it meets Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) standards with samples available.
