p-Anisidine is used in the production of azo dyes. It is also used for biochemical research and in organic synthesis. Further, it is used for detecting unsaturated aldehydes. It is also employed in food quality testing. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of 1-methoxy-4-trans-styryl-benzene by reacting with vinylbenzene.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
