4180-23-8 Usage
Description
(E)-Anethol is a phenylpropanoid that has been found in P. anisum seed oil and has antifungal and antioxidant activity. It is active against fermentatively growing S. cerevisiae under hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions (MIC = 100 μg/ml), and against C. parapsilosis when used at a concentration of 15% w/w. (E)-Anethol has antioxidant activity in a Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay but does not scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazel (DPPH) radicals in a cell-free assay.
Chemical Properties
trans-anethole is a clear colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a characteristic anise, sweet, spicy, warm odor and corresponding sweet taste.
Anethole (1-methoxy-4-propenyl-benzene, isoestragole) is an alkoxypropenylbenzene derivative and an important favoring component of essential oils of more than 20 plant species. Essential oils from seeds of anise (Pimpinellaanisum L.), star anise (Illicium verum Hook.f), and sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. dulce) are the main sources used for the isolation of anethole. Two isomers of anethole occur in nature: E- or trans-anethole and Z-or cis-anethole. About 90 % of natural anethole is trans-isomer. Besides separation from natural essential oils, anethole is obtained using the rectification of crude sulfate turpentine and/or the organic synthesis starting from methylchavicol or anisole and propionic anhydride. Compared to natural compound, synthetic trans-anethole is impurified with higher amounts of cis-isomer.
Occurrence
Anethole is methyl ether of oestrone and has been found in fennel, aniseed, coriander, and many other volatile oils.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 4180-23-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. flavoring agent in food, dentifrices, etc.; in perfumery for soap, etc.; in pharmaceuticals as flavor; in photography and in
embedding materials in microscopy; some perfumery uses (fennei; absinthe; Hyacinth jacinthe; detergents; magnolia). Natural
occurrence: star anise
2. platelet aggregation inhibitor
3. trans-Anethole is used to inhibits lung and forestomach carcinogenesis, used as carbon and energy supplement in the culture media of Pseudomonas putida strain. It is also used as used as a flavoring substance.
Preparation
Different sources of media describe the Preparation of 4180-23-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. By esterification of p-cresol with methyl alcohol and with subsequent condensation with α-cetaldehyde (Perknis); the
most common method of preparation is from pine oil. By fractional distillation of the essential oils of anise, star anise, and fennel;
the anise essences contain an average of 85% anethole; fennel, from 60 to 70%.
2. By isomerization of estragole using alcoholic potassium hydroxide as agent (Arctander, 1969).
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: sweet, anise, licorice and spicy with a lingering, sweet aftertaste.

General Description
trans-Anethole is a naturally occuring flavouring agent. It has insecticidal, larvicidal, and antimicrobial properties.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Naturally occurring phenylpropene derivative that is estrogenic at lower concentrations and cytotoxic at higher concentrations to cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity is related to the metabolism of trans-anethole to 4-hydroxy-1-propenylbenzene.
Anticancer Research
It is one of the major constituents of essential oil of fennel and anise and belongs tothe class of phenylpropenes. It has the capacity to block both inflammation andcarcinogenesis. It is an antioxidant and also a suppressor of NF-κB activation byIκBα degradation (Aggarwal and Shishodia 2004).
Metabolism
Anethole is metabolized by oxidation of the propenyl group and is excreted as anisic acid (Williams, 1959). The metabolism of trans-anethole used in the preparation of anis-flavoured alcoholic beverages was studied in the rabbit and rat after iv and oral administration. It was excreted rapidly from the animal regardless of the method of administration. After iv injection it was found concentrated in the liver, lungs and brain; after oral administration, absorption was slight and most of it remained in the stomach. Ethyl alcohol has no effect on the metabolism (Le Bourhis, 1968).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 4180-23-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,1,8 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4180-23:
(6*4)+(5*1)+(4*8)+(3*0)+(2*2)+(1*3)=68
68 % 10 = 8
So 4180-23-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Page/Page column 61-62, (2021/04/30)
The present invention relates, in general terms, to methods of borylation and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention provides a method of borylating an alkene compound by contacting the compound with a boron compound, a Fe pre-catalyst and a protic additive. The borylation occurs at a vicinal (β) position to an electron donating or electron withdrawing moiety of the compound.
Synthesis, antiepileptic effects, and structure-activity relationships of α-asarone derivatives: In vitro and in vivo neuroprotective effect of selected derivatives

, (2021/08/03)
In the present study, we compared the antiepileptic effects of α-asarone derivatives to explore their structure-activity relationships using the PTZ-induced seizure model. Our research revealed that electron-donating methoxy groups in the 3,4,5-position on phenyl ring increased antiepileptic potency but the placement of other groups at different positions decreased activity. Besides, in allyl moiety, the optimal activity was reached with either an allyl or a 1-butenyl group in conjugation with the benzene ring. The compounds 5 and 19 exerted better neuroprotective effects against epilepsy in vitro (cell) and in vivo (mouse) models. This study provides valuable data for further exploration and application of these compounds as potential anti-seizure medicines.
Iron Catalyzed Double Bond Isomerization: Evidence for an FeI/FeIII Catalytic Cycle

Iron-catalyzed isomerization of alkenes is reported using an iron(II) β-diketiminate pre-catalyst. The reaction proceeds with a catalytic amount of a hydride source, such as pinacol borane (HBpin) or ammonia borane (H3N?BH3). Reactivity with both allyl arenes and aliphatic alkenes has been studied. The catalytic mechanism was investigated by a variety of means, including deuteration studies, Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The data obtained support a pre-catalyst activation step that gives access to an η2-coordinated alkene FeI complex, followed by oxidative addition of the alkene to give an FeIII intermediate, which then undergoes reductive elimination to allow release of the isomerization product.
