  • Applications

    3-Methyl-4-anisaldehyde (CAS 32723-67-4) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and aroma formulations; it also serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of other aroma compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be incorporated as a fragrance component; in household and cleaning products, it can be added as a fragrance additive; in industrial manufacturing it is considered a precursor for more complex aroma chemicals; and it may be used as an odorant in polymers, coatings, or inks where scent is desired.
