Description

Anisole, also known as methoxybenzene or methyl phenyl ether, is a colorless liquid ether with a pleasant, aromatic odor, often used in perfumery and as a solvent.

Application

Anisole may undergo:

  • Zeolite-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts acylation with acetic anhydride in acetic acid to form 4-methoxyacetophenone with high selectivity.
  • Bismuth triflate-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts benzoylation with benzoic anhydride to form 4-methoxybenzophenone under solvent-free microwave irradiation.

It may also be used as a surrogate for lignin primary tar in pyrolysis experiments.
