Anisole is a commonly used compound in laboratories for examining the pH levels of various compounds. The compound and its derivatives are used in the preparation of pesticides and herbicides. It is also used as an intermediate in manufacturing dyes and pigments. It also finds its application in the production of perfumes and various other aromatic chemicals. It is often used as a building block in the production of certain pharmaceutical drugs.

The versatility of Anisole makes it an important component in various market segments, especially in the agrochemical and chemical industries. Its market is primarily driven by its application in the production of dyes, coatings, and pigments, which promotes its demand in the paints & coatings, textiles, printing, and chemical industries. Its application as an intermediate in manufacturing agrochemicals and certain drugs further enhances its demand in the agrochemical, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. In general, the cost and the availability of the raw materials (aniline, etc.), technological advancements, logistics, sustainability practices, and quality standards serve as factors that influence Anisole procurement globally.

Raw Material for Anisole Production

According to the Anisole manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Anisole production include Phenol and Methanol.

Manufacturing Process of Anisole

The extensive Anisole production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Anisole: The method of production involves the use of vapor phase methylation to produce anisole as the product. The process begins with the reaction of phenol and methanol through vapor phase methylation in the presence of over activated alumina (γ-Al2O3 supported) catalyst in a fixed bed reactor, which results in the formation of anisole as the final product.

Anisole is a colorless liquid, which is derived from aniline. Furthermore, it exhibits a weak and sweet odor. It is commonly known as methoxybenzene and has a chemical formula of C7H8O. Its vapors are heavier than air, and the molecular weight of this compound is 108.14 g/mol. Anisole occurs naturally in tarragon oil and is insoluble in water but can dissolve in acetone, alcohol, and ether. It can irritate the eyes and the mucus membranes on exposure. The melting point and the boiling point of the compound are -37.5 °C and 155 °C, respectively. It is also synthesized from the reaction of dimethyl sulfate with phenol in an alkaline aqueous solution. Its flash point is 52 °C, and its solubility in water is 1.04 mg/mL at 25 °C. Moreover, when it is heated and subjected to react with hydrobromic or hydroiodic compounds, it produces phenol and halogenated methane.
