100-09-4 Description |
|
4-methoxybenzoic acid, also known as p-Anisic acid or draconic acid, is an organic acid with a sweet flavor. It is one of the isomers(m-anisic acid, and o-anisic acid) of anisic acid. The term "anisic acid" often refers to this form specifically. P-anisic acid is produced through the oxidation of p-cresyl-methyl ether. |
|
100-09-4 Uses |
|
4-Methoxybenzoic acid (p-Anisic acid) is used in oxidation and reduction of cytochrome c in solution through different self-assembled monolayers on gold electrodes using cyclic voltammetry. p-Anisic acid has antiseptic properties. It is also used as an intermediate in the preparation of more complex organic compounds. |
