p-Anisic acid by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 4-methoxybenzoic acid, this is an organic compound which is a carboxylic acid. This reagent is available as a crystalline white powder which is insoluble in water, highly soluble in alcohols and soluble in ether, and ethyl acetate. It has a melting point of 184 C and boiling point of 275 to 280 C. This is the para-isomer form of Anisic acid. While it is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 100-09-4 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C8H8O3 Molecular weight: 152.15 Assay: minimum 99 %p-Anisic acid has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is commonly used as an intermediate in the preparation of more complex organic compounds. It is a metabolite of aniracetam that mimics its anxiolytic actions. It is also an inhibitor of tyrosinase. 4-Methoxybenzoic acid has been used in the oxidation and reduction of cytochrome c in solution through different self-assembled monolayers on gold electrodes using cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, it exhibits antiseptic properties. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
