Anisyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to pale yellowish liquid

Chemical Properties

Anisyl Acetate has been found in several types of berries. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity, slightly balsamic blossom odor and is used occasionally in sweet, floral compositions but more frequently in flavor compositions for fruity notes.

Chemical Properties

Anisyl acetate has a floral, fruit-like odor (pleasant, vanilla, plum, lilac) and a slight pungent, sweet taste.

Occurrence

Reported found in vanilla and currants.

Uses

Perfumery, flavoring.

Preparation

May be prepared by the reaction of anisic alcohol with acetic anhydride

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol.
