About Para Anisic Aldehyde
Para anisic aldehyde - better known as p-anisaldehyde or 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 123-11-5, C₈H₈O₂) - is a colourless to pale-yellow aromatic aldehyde with a sweet, floral, anisic odour often described as hawthorn or mimosa. It occurs naturally in anise and is one of the most widely used floral aroma chemicals, valued for building hawthorn, lilac and mimosa notes in perfumery.
Beyond fragrance, it is a flavouring agent (FEMA 2670) and a versatile organic-synthesis intermediate - for example in making p-anisic acid and pharmaceutical or agrochemical compounds - and is the active ingredient in the 'anisaldehyde stain' used in thin-layer chromatography (TLC).
Para Anisic Aldehyde Suppliers, Manufacturers & Distributors
Elchemy is a trusted para anisic aldehyde supplier, manufacturer partner and distributor, supplying p-anisaldehyde (4-methoxybenzaldehyde) to flavour and fragrance houses, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers and laboratories across the USA, UK, UAE and 40+ countries. Working with audited manufacturers across multiple origins, we deliver ≥99% material with a Certificate of Analysis on every batch.
Where to Buy Para Anisic Aldehyde in Bulk
Looking for where to buy para anisic aldehyde? Elchemy supplies bulk p-anisaldehyde from laboratory quantities to drums, in fragrance, flavour and reagent grades, with US domestic stock for faster delivery. Submit the quote form with your grade, purity and volume for pricing within 24–48 hours.
Para Anisic Aldehyde Price: Bulk Pricing & Quote
The para anisic aldehyde price moves with feedstock - the anethole or p-cresol route - along with purity and volume, so Elchemy quotes live rather than publishing a fixed rate. Buyers benchmark the price per kg for trial lots and per-drum for larger orders. Request a quote for an exact figure within 24–48 hours.
Para Anisic Aldehyde Manufacturing Process
Para anisic aldehyde is produced synthetically - most commonly by controlled oxidation of p-cresol or p-methylanisole, or by oxidation of anethole from anise and star-anise oil - then distilled to ≥99% purity.
Raw materials are anethole or p-methylanisole and an oxidising system. Every batch Elchemy supplies is tested for purity by GC, moisture, acid value and colour (APHA), with a COA per order.
Grades Available
- Flavour & Fragrance, FEMA 2670 (≥99%) - perfumery, soap, cosmetics and flavours
- Reagent / Laboratory (≥99%) - TLC anisaldehyde stain, analysis and R&D
- Pharmaceutical / Synthesis (high purity) - intermediate for p-anisic acid and APIs
Buy Para Anisic Aldehyde in Bulk - Packaging & Logistics
Para anisic aldehyde ships in 25 kg and 200 kg HDPE or lacquered-steel drums, palletised for container loads, and smaller cans for sampling.
US domestic stock supports faster fulfilment. Material from other origin countries typically transits 24–28 days to the US East Coast, on FOB, CIF or DDP terms. Store in tightly closed, full containers in a cool, dark place - the aldehyde slowly oxidises to anisic acid on exposure to air and light.
Why Choose Elchemy as a Trusted Para Anisic Aldehyde Supplier
- Multiple grades - fragrance (FEMA 2670), flavour and reagent or lab grades from one partner
- Full documentation - COA, TDS and GHS SDS with every order; FEMA/IFRA and origin declarations on request
- Samples in 24–48 hours - evaluate aroma and purity before any bulk order
- Aroma-chemical sourcing - part of Elchemy's wider flavours & fragrances range, with tailored grades via custom manufacturing
Safety & Handling
Para anisic aldehyde is a low-hazard aroma chemical, considered safe at the low levels used in fragrance and flavour, but as a concentrated liquid it may cause mild skin or eye irritation and possible sensitisation in susceptible individuals.
Handle with gloves and goggles in a ventilated area, keep containers closed to limit oxidation, and flush with water on contact. It is combustible but not readily flammable, with a flash point around 118 °C. A full GHS-aligned SDS ships with orders.
- Sweet, Floral Aroma: Imparts a pleasant, anisic scent to fragrances and flavors.
- High Purity Standards: Ensures performance in fragrance and flavor formulations.
- Eco-Friendly Production: Focus on minimizing energy use and waste.
- Versatile Intermediate: Useful in organic synthesis and chemical reactions.
- Stable Formulation: Provides long-lasting fragrance in personal care products.
