| 4-Methoxyphenylacetone Usage And Synthesis |
| Aroma | Mild, yet somewhat "gassy" Hawthorne-Anise type odor of good tenacity. It has some resemblance to Methylacetophenone, but is not nearly as harsh or pungent. |
| Description | l-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone has an odor and taste similar to anise. May be obtained by boiling α- or β-anetholglycol with a 20% solution of sulfuric acid, or from l-(p-methoxyphenyl)- propan-l,2-ol by treatment with diluted sulfuric acid. |
| Chemical Properties | 1-(p-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone has an odor and taste similar to anise. |
| Chemical Properties | Pale Yellow Liquid |
| Occurrence | Reported found in Chinese star anise and in Russian star anise; also reported found in sweet and common fen nel, chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) and Illicium verum and cherry |
| Uses | A volatile compound released by flowering plants to attractant insects |
| Preparation | Obtained by boiling α- or β-anetholglycol with a 2% solution of sulfuric acid, or from 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-propan-1,2-ol by treatment with diluted sulfuric acid. |
| Definition | ChEBI: 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone is an alkylbenzene. |
| Application | 4-Methoxyphenylacetone is used occasionally in perfumes, but more frequent ly in flavor compositions. In fruit and imitation Vanilla, sometimes in Walnut or Cherry flavors, it may be used in traces, equivalent to 0.5 to 5 ppm in the finished product. |
| Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 15 ppm: sweet spicy, with green anisic, minty nuances. |
