4-Allylanisole(CAS#140-67-0)

Introduction

4-Allylbenzyloxy Ether. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation, and safety information:Properties:4-Allylbenzyloxy ether is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aroma. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers, and most organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water.Uses:4-Allylbenzyloxy ether is commonly used in the fragrance industry as a component with a pleasant scent. It can be used in the formulation of various perfumes, fragrances, and soaps.Preparation:4-Allylbenzyloxy ether can be synthesized by reacting benzyl alcohol with bromopropane under basic conditions. The specific steps are: converting benzyl alcohol into the basic phenoxide salt using a base (such as sodium hydroxide); then, under basic conditions, adding bromopropane to react with the phenoxide salt; finally, neutralizing the reaction solution with an acid (such as hydrochloric acid) and purifying the product by distillation to obtain the target compound.Safety Information:The main hazard of 4-allylbenzyloxy ether is its flammability. It should be kept away from high temperatures, flames, and oxidizing agents, and stored in a sealed container. Appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, should be worn during use. In case of accidental contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention.
