Description

(Z)-Anethole CAS NO 25679-28-1 is a specific stereoisomer of anethole, a key aromatic compound prized for its distinct, sweet, anise-like flavor and fragrance profile. This high-purity isomer is essential for applications requiring precise sensory characteristics and consistent chemical performance. It is a critical ingredient for flavor and fragrance houses, as well as manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality intermediates.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A primary building block for creating and enhancing sweet, licorice, and anise notes in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and air fresheners.
• Food & Beverage Flavors: Used in the formulation of flavors for confectionery, baked goods, liqueurs (e.g., anisette, ouzo), and oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as a precursor or intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and herbicides.
• Aroma Chemicals: A fundamental component in the manufacture of other complex aroma chemicals and specialty esters.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and life science research due to its defined stereochemistry.
