| product characteristics | anisole is also called anisole, methoxybenzene, methyl phenyl ether, a colorless liquid with the smell of anise, sweet taste, naturally exists in tarragon essential oil, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, and soluble in benzene. Stimulate the eyes and mucous membranes. It was originally obtained from the distillation of methyl salicylate or methoxybenzoic acid, and now it is mainly prepared by reacting the methylation reagent dimethyl sulfate with phenol in an alkaline aqueous solution. Anisole is prone to electrophilic substitution reactions on aromatic nuclei. Condensation with formaldehyde to form viscous oil or resin; react with phosphorus chloride to form p-chloroanisole and a small amount of o-chlorine products; react with sulfuryl chloride to obtain 2,4, 6-trichloroanisole. In addition, anisole is heated with hydrobromic acid or hydroiodic acid, and the carbon-oxygen bond is broken to produce phenol and halomethane, which is an important method for determining the methoxy group on the benzene ring. |
| toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). LD50 3700mg/kg (rat, oral). |
| usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): soft drink 9.0; Cold drink 16; Candy 51; Baked food 34. limited to moderation (FDA § 172.515,2000). |
| use | GB 2760-1996 stipulates that it is allowed to use food spices. Mainly used to prepare vanilla, fennel and beer flavors. Used as analytical reagents, solvents, and also used for the preparation of spices and intestinal insecticides Used in the production of spices, dyes, medicines, pesticides, and also used as solvents Used in organic synthesis, and also used as solvents, fragrances and insect repellents. Used as a solvent for recrystallization, thermostat filler, refractive index measurement, perfume, organic synthesis intermediate |
| Production method | It is prepared by reacting methylating agent dimethyl sulfate with phenol in alkaline solution. Mix phenol with sodium hydroxide solution, and slowly add dimethyl sulfate below 10 ℃. After addition, the temperature is raised to 40 ℃, the reaction is refluxed for 18h, then the oil layer is separated by standing, dried with anhydrous calcium chloride, and then the distillation is reduced to obtain anisole. It is obtained by passing methyl chloride into liquid ammonia of sodium phenol. It is obtained by co-heating phenol and methanol. It is obtained by the reaction of phenol and dimethyl sulfate in the presence of sodium hydroxide. |
