Abstract:Anisole is a straw-colored aromatic compound mainly used in making solvents, flavoring agents, perfumes, fuel additives, and in the synthesis industries. Anisole, also known as methoxybenzene, is synthesized from sodium phenoxide or phenol using various methylating agents. The use of dimethyl ether (DME) as an alkylating agent is seldom reported in the literature. Herein, we have synthesized anisole through the O-alkylation process of phenol and DME to obtain zero discharge from this process. The thermodynamic… Show more
