Production method
It can be obtained through p-cresol methyl ether from the p-cresol by methylation and then oxidation by adding manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid. Or it is derived from the oxidation of anisole.
Anise aldehyde is mainly included in anise oil, fennel oil, dill oil, gold Albizia julibrissin oil, vanilla extract, etc. When extracted from natural raw materials, it is oxidated by ozone, nitric acid, potassium permanganate, sodium dichromate or sulfuric acid, in the presence of p-Aminobenzene Sulfonic. It can also be obtained as follows: Anethole is Isolated from the essential oil, then decomposed by yellow blood salt, water, sodium bisulfite and other appropriate decomposing agent, cutting off the allyl double bond and generating anise aldehyde. According to the method, the yield was 60%. It had been discovered and synthesized before it has been isolated from the essential oil. The product can be prepared to take from phenol and anisole, cresol ether, preparation of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and other raw materials. Using dimethyl sulfate for methylation of phenol, followed by chloromethylation reaction Fennel introducing chloromethyl ether and Urotropine with salt, and then hydrolyzed to chloromethyl into aldehyde (Suo Mulai reaction) to prepare p-methoxy benzaldehyde. Another promising approach is to turn on the methylation of toluene, the formation of methyl phenyl ether, and then oxidation to obtain the production. In foreign countries, the current method is using oxidating p-methyl anisole in sulfuric acid in the presence of the oxidizing agent such as potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate and manganese dioxide.

Description
p-Methoxybenzaldehyde has a characteristic hawthorne odor and a pungent, anise-like flavor. It has a bitter flavor above 30 - 40 ppm. May be prepared by methylation and oxidation of p-cresol and also by oxidation of anethole.
Chemical Properties
p-Methoxybenzaldehyde has a sweet, floral odor and a pungent, anise-like flavor. It has a bitter flavor above 30 to 40 ppm.
Chemical Properties
clear colorless to pale yellowish liquid
Chemical Properties
p-Anisaldehyde occurs in many essential oils, often together with anethole. It is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a sweet, mimosa, hawthorn odor. p-Anisaldehyde can be hydrogenated to anise alcohol and readily oxidizes to anisic acid when exposed to air. Synthetic routes to anisaldehyde start from p-cresyl methyl ether, which is oxidized, for example, by manganese dioxide or by oxygen or peroxy compounds in the presence of transition metal catalysts .
Another industrial process uses electrochemical oxidation in the presence of lower aliphatic alcohols via the corresponding anisaldehyde dialkyl acetal . Anisaldehyde may also be produced by methylation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, which is easily obtained by oxidation of p-cresol or by Vilsmeier formylation of anisol.
