General Description

1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-methylpropyl phenylacetate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C17H18O4. It is also known by its common name, Safrole, and is commonly used as a precursor in the synthesis of the drug MDMA. Safrole has a sweet, pleasant odor and is used in the production of fragrances, flavorings, and perfumes. However, it is also a controlled substance in many countries due to its potential use in the illegal production of MDMA. In high doses, safrole has been found to be carcinogenic, and its use has been banned as a food additive in many places.
