PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
2-methylanisole is a monomethoxybenzene that is o-cresol in which phenolic hydroxy group has been converted to the corresponding methyl ether. A 'green' solvent (b.p. 171 ℃) and food flavour ingredient, it is found in mastic oils, virgin olive oils and frankincense. It has a role as a polar aprotic solvent and a flavouring agent. It is a monomethoxybenzene, a volatile organic compound and a member of toluenes. It is functionally related to an o-cresol.
