Uses
p-ANISALDEHYDE(123-11-5) is mainly used for the preparation of vanilla, spices, apricot, butter, cinnamon and chocolate, caramel, cherry, walnuts, raspberry, strawberry, mint flavor. It can also be used for daily Flavor and Flavors. The pharmaceutical industry for the manufacture of anti-microbial drugs hydroxyl ammonia benzyl penicillin, is the anti-histamine drug intermediates.
Production
p-Anisaldehyde (CAS NO.123-11-5) is made by the oxidation of anethole (the chief constituent of anise, star anise, and fennel oils).
CH3OC6H4CH=CHCH3 → CH3OC6H4CH=O
Anethole is obtained from the higher-boiling fractions of pine oil.
