Common Name | p-Anisic acid |
---|
Description | P-Anisic acid, also known as 4-anisate or draconic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as p-methoxybenzoic acids and derivatives. These are benzoic acids in which the hydrogen atom at position 4 of the benzene ring is replaced by a methoxy group. P-Anisic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). P-Anisic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. P-Anisic acid is a faint, sweet, and cadaverous tasting compound. Outside of the human body, p-Anisic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as anises, cocoa beans, fennels, and german camomiles. This could make p-anisic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A methoxybenzoic acid substituted with a methoxy group at position C-4. |
