These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. Its chemical structure consists of a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group and an allyl group. It is a colorless liquid, although impure samples can appear yellow. Estragole is a sweet, alcohol, and anise tasting compound. It is used in the preparation of fragrances. Estragole has also been found as a component of various trees and plants, including turpentine (pine oil), anise, fennel, bay, tarragon, and basil. It has also been found in lower concentrations in star anises, hyssops, and tarragons. Estragole has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as ceylon cinnamons, dills, sweet bay, gingers, and pepper (spice). 1-Allyl-4-methoxybenzene 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propen-1-yl)-benzene 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propen-1-yl)benzene 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-benzene 1-Methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene, 9CI 1-methoxy-4-prop-2-enylbenzene 3-(p-Methoxyphenyl)propene 4-Allyl-1-methoxybenzene 4-Allylanisole 4-Allylmethoxybenzene 4-Methoxyallylbenzene Allylphenyl methyl ether, p- Anisole, p-allyl- Benzene, 1-methoxy-4-(2-propen-1-yl)- Benzene, 1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- Benzene, 1-methoxy, 4-prop-2-enyl BENZENE,1-allyl,4-methoxy methylchavicol Chavicol methyl ether Chavicyl methyl ether Esdragol Esdragole Esdragon Estragol Estragol (methylchavicol) Estragole Ether, P-allylphenyl methyl FEMA 2411 Isoanethole Isoanthethole Methyl chavicol Methyl chavicole Methyl chavicole (estragole) Methyl-chavicol Methylchavicol O-Methyl-chavicol P-Allyl-anisole p-Allylanisole p-Allylmethoxybenzene p-Allylphenyl methyl ether p-Methoxyallylbenzene Para-allylanisole (estragole) Tarragon Terragon C10H12O 148.2017 148.088815006 1-methoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)benzene tarragon 140-67-0 COC1=CC=C(CC=C)C=C1 InChI=1S/C10H12O/c1-3-4-9-5-7-10(11-2)8-6-9/h3,5-8H,1,4H2,2H3 ZFMSMUAANRJZFM-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles.
