Anisole, or methoxybenzene, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 OC 6 H 5. It is a colorless liquid with a smell reminiscent of anise seed, and in fact many of its derivatives are found in natural and artificial fragrances .
2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is a low sensitivity organic compound.It has an anisole (methoxybenzene) core, with two nitro groups (–NO 2) attached. [1]It is not explosive itself unless it is mixed with other explosive chemicals in certain ratios.
Its chemical names are based on considering the structure as either an acetyl (methyl-ketone) analog of anisole. Other names It can also be seen as a methyl ether analog of acetophenone. Acetanisole is found naturally in castoreum, the glandular secretion of the beaver. [1]
Anisole converts to cresols under these conditions. [5] [6] Another isomer of cresol is called Benzyl alcohol, or alpha-cresol (α-cresol). Benzyl alcohol has a hydroxy group inside a methyl group on the benzene ring.
Anisole (C 6 H 5 OCH 3) is the simplest phenol ether, and is a versatile precursor for perfumes and pharmaceuticals. [1] Vanillin and ethylvanillin are phenol ether derivatives commonly utilized in vanilla flavorings and fragrances, while diphenyl ether is commonly used as a synthetic geranium fragrance.
TCA is formed by the methylation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. [8] [7] More generally, it may be produced when naturally occurring airborne fungi and bacteria are presented with chlorinated phenolic compounds, which they then convert into chlorinated anisole derivatives. [9]
4-Bromoanisole forms a Grignard reagent, [1] which reacts with phosphorus trichloride to give tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine: . 3 CH 3 OC 6 H 4 MgBr + PCl 3 → (CH 3 OC 6 H 4) 3 P + 3 MgBrCl
Methoxytoluenes (methylanisoles or cresyl methyl ethers) are a group of three isomeric organic compounds with the formula CH 3 OC 6 H 4 CH 3.They consist of a disubstituted benzene ring with methoxy group and one methyl group.
