CAS 501-92-8: Chavicol
Description:Chavicol, also known as 4-allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and allyl group. It is primarily derived from the essential oil of various plants, particularly those in the family of the Apiaceae, such as basil and certain types of anise. Chavicol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, spicy aroma, making it valuable in the fragrance and flavoring industries. Its chemical formula is C10H12O2, and it features a methoxy group that contributes to its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. Chavicol exhibits antimicrobial properties and has been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is important to handle chavicol with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. In terms of applications, chavicol is utilized in perfumery, food flavoring, and as a potential natural preservative due to its bioactive properties.
