Colorless liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Powerful and harsh, yet very sweet odor, rather chemical and not reminiscent of any natural material, except perhaps remotely of Anise.
Suggested for use and actually used in a number of flavor types: Birch Beer, Licorice, Root Beer, Sarsaparilla and Wintergreen.
This ether finds some use in low-cost fragrances, where power is important, industrial masking odors, etc.
Produced from Phenol in mild aqueous alkali with Dimethyl sulfate.
