About 3-Methyl anisole, 99%

3-Methyl anisole is an ether building block (Synthesis grade) carrying the CAS registry number 100-84-5 at a purity of 99%. Its molecular formula is C8H10O and its molecular weight is 122.16 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 1-methoxy-3-methylbenzene. It is also known as 3-Methylanisole or 3-Methoxytoluene.

It is supplied as a liquid. Literature values give a boiling point of 175-176 °C and a density of 0.969 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for organic synthesis and API synthesis. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 100 mL, 500 mL and 5 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
