Anisole Market Growth, Trends, Absolute Opportunity and Value Chain 2016-2026
Verfasser: Monicafmi31 on Friday, 23 December 2016Global Anisole Market: Introduction
Anisole, also known as methoxybenzene can be described as an organic compound and colourless liquid with smell similar to that of anise seed. Anisole is prepared synthetically and is a precursor of other synthetic compounds and it is an ether. The chemical formula of anisole is CH3OC6H5. Anisole has a good solubility in diethyl ether, ethanol, benzene, chloroform, toluene and most of the organic solvents. It is used as a solvent, insect pheromone, and as an intermediate in manufacturing of dyes, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Anisole is generally supplied to end-users in drums or specially constructed tanks for hazardous liquids commonly called as ISO TANKS. Anisole suffers electrophilic aromatic reaction quicker than benzene, which reacts relatively quicker than nitrobenzene. Anisole is produced by the reaction of sodium phenoxide with methyl bromide and Williamson ether synthesis.
Rapid industrialization along with rising use of intermediate chemicals for manufacturing of other products such as polycarbonates, and detergents is expected to promote the expansion of capacity over the forecast period. It is utilized in manufacturing nanoparticles (tin oxide) and inorganic complexes, rising the demand for anisole, which is expected to boost the market growth. The compound is an important raw material for producing Guaiacol, MEHQ & 4-MAP.
