INTRODUCTION
The aromatic is a liquid with a pleasant odor. The active methoxy group attached to a benzene ring renders a high amount of reactivity to the molecule. Worldwide, anisole is commercially produced by methylation of phenol.

APPLICATIONS
Anisole is used in various industry verticals including but not limited to manufacture of API, colorants, cosmetics, flavor & fragrance chemicals, polymerization inhibitors, antioxidants, and agrochemicals. It is also consumed as solvent in various chemicals processes.
| Pharmaceuticals | The sweet aromatic is a key starting compound in the manufacture of Tamoxifen, Guaifenesin, Carvedilol, Ranolazine and Methocarbamol. In the process, anisole is first converted into Guaiacol, which is an antioxidant. Guaiacol is then used to synthesize some of the above APIs. |
| Agrochemicals | The methoxylated benzene acts as an insect pheromone and it also finds usage in manufacture of Ancymidole (a plant growth regulator) and Methoxychlor (an insecticide). |
| Flavors, Fragrances, and Cosmetics | The aromatic compound is extensively employed, thanks to its odor, for production of F&F chemicals such as Anethole, p-anisaldehyde, Guaiacol, 4-methoxyacetophenone, etc. From the last compound, cosmetic ingredient Avobenzone is manufactured. |
| Inhibitor | A feeble but important use of anisole is in production of methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ), which is one of the universal polymerization inhibitors. |
| Colorant | Anisole is a KRM in the manufacture of the dye Disperse Blue 73 from Acid Blue 45. |

INTRODUCTION Rheological additives are essential components in paint formulations used to control the flow and viscosity of the paint. Modified rheological additives are advanced formulations of traditional rheological additives. They are designed to offer improved performance, versatility, or specific functional properties in applications like paints, coatings etc. Synonym Alkyl quaternary ammonium bentonite CAS no. 68153-34-4 […]
Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Introducing 95% curcumin in both human and animal applications involves understanding its high potency, ensuring effective delivery and absorption
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is one of the most important and widely used white pigments in the world. It’s a versatile compound found in an array of products across various industries. Its exceptional properties make it an essential ingredient in everything from paints and coatings to adhesives and cosmetics. TiO₂ exists in two primary grades: Anatase and Rutile.
Hydriodic acid is a strong acid solution of hydrogen iodide in water at nominal concentrations of 47% and 57%. Its stabilized formulation ensures consistent quality and reliability in various applications. This compound often appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent odor, characteristic of hydrogen halides.
n-Propylamine, known as propylamine in trade, is a versatile primary amine with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. It makes the amino group reactive and the amine thus undergoes chiefly nucleophilic substitution reactions with substrate.
Iodine is anon-metallic, dark-grey/purple-black, lustrous, solid element. It is the heaviest and the rarest of stable halogens that can be found on the crust of earth.About fifty percent of all iodine produced and manufactured worldwide is used to form Organoiodine compounds. Iodine is an important element for many health-sustaining processes and essential for human thyroid health.
