CAS 150-76-5: Phenol, 4-methoxy-
Description:Phenol, 4-methoxy- (also known as p-methoxyphenol or anisole) is an organic compound characterized by a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to the para position of a phenolic ring. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is known for its antioxidant properties and is often used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-methoxyphenol can act as a stabilizer in polymer formulations and is utilized in the cosmetic industry for its fragrance and preservative qualities. The compound is also recognized for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, like many phenolic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
