Colorless, slightly oily liquid
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils
Sweet-herbaceous Anise-Fennel type odor
The taste is not nearly as sweet as that of Anethole, and not as 'clean' or singular. More warm-herbaceous, complex.
Useful in perfume compositions for herbaceous Fougéres, Lavenders, Chypres, Pine fragrances, etc. and particularly in soap perfumes.
More widely used in flavor compositions, particularly in seasonings, dressings, condiments and meat flavors.
Produced from fractions of American wood turpentine oil, by isolation. A synthesis from Allyl bromide and para-Methoxyphenyimagnesium bromide has little practical importance.
