1,2-Methylenedioxybenzene, also known as Safrole (CAS No. 94-59-7), is a naturally occurring organic compound and a key intermediate in the synthesis of various aromatic chemicals. It is primarily produced via the extraction from essential oils or through synthetic methylenation of catechol derivatives.
Strictly regulated due to hepatotoxicity and carcinogenic potential. Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personal protective equipment is mandatory during handling to prevent inhalation or skin contact.
