| Natural occurrence | Reported found in European cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus L.), guava fruit (Psidium guajava L.), Vitis labrusca L., tomato, anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), mentha oils, grilled and roasted beef, sherry, cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.), salted and pickled plums, Illicium verum and black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa ell.). |
| Chemical Properties | WHITE CRYSTALS OR CRYSTALLINE POWDER |
| Chemical Properties | 4-Methoxyacetophenone occurs in anise oil. It forms white crystals (mp 38°C) with a sweet odor, reminiscent of hawthorn. 4-Methoxyacetophenone is prepared by Friedel–Crafts acetylation of anisole. A modern process uses ??-zeolites as Friedel–Crafts catalysts in combination with a continuous flow technology. 4-Methoxyacetophenone is used in soap perfumes |

| Uses | 4'-Methoxyacetophenone is used as a component of perfumes and as chemical intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, resins, flavouring agents. And also used to study ruthenium catalyzed step growth copolymerization of 4?-methoxyacetophenone with α,ω-dienes to yield copolymers. |
| Uses | 4'-Methoxyacetophenone is a solid, pale yellow flavoring agent with a hawthornlike odor. It is soluble in most fixed oils and propylene glycol, and it is insoluble in glycerin and mineral oil. It is obtained by chemical synthesis. This flavoring substance or its adjuvant may be safely used in food in the minimum quantity required to produce its intended flavor. It can be used alone or in combination with other flavoring substances or adjuvants. It is also termed p-methoxyacetophenone. |
| Uses | Perfumery (for floral odors), flavoring. |
| Definition | ChEBI: A member of the class of acetophenones that is acetophenone substituted by a methoxy group at position 4. |
| Preparation | From anisole and acetyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride and carbon disulfide; from anisole and acetic acid in the presence of boron trifluoride. |
| Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: sweet, anisic, fruity, cherry with powdery vanilla nuances. |

| General Description | 4′-Methoxyacetophenone undergoes biocatalytic enantioselective reduction using immobilized Rhodotorula sp. AS2.2241 cells to yield (S)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethanol in a hydrophilic ionic liquid-containing co-solvent system. |
| Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |
| Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion. Human systemic effects by inhalation: pulse rate increase without fall in blood pressure and blood pressure elevation. A skin irritant. Flammable liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also KETONES. |
| Purification Methods | Crystallise the ketone from diethyl ether/pet ether. [Beilstein 8 IV 340.] |
