 |  | Anisyl acetate Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | clear colourless to pale yellowish liquid |  | Chemical Properties | Anisyl Acetate has been found in several types
of berries. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity, slightly balsamic blossom odor and
is used occasionally in sweet, floral compositions but more frequently in flavor
compositions for fruity notes. |  | Chemical Properties | Anisyl acetate has a floral, fruit-like odor (pleasant, vanilla, plum, lilac) and a slight pungent, sweet taste. |  | Occurrence | Reported found in vanilla and currants. |  | Uses | Perfumery, flavoring. |  | Preparation | May be prepared by the reaction of anisic alcohol with acetic anhydride |  | Definition | ChEBI: 4-Methoxybenzyl acetate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol. |  | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: fruity, floral, vanilla, coconut, honey, cocoa, anise and licorice |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 40, p. 3647, 1975 DOI: 10.1021/jo00913a006 |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable |  | Biochem/physiol Actions | Taste at 30 ppm |  | Safety Profile | Combustible liquid.
When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
