Safrole is a naturally occurring phenylpropene found in sassafras oil. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of MDMA and various fragrances via catalytic hydrogenation or oxidation. Its chemical structure is defined by the molecular formula C10H10O2 and CAS number 94-59-7.
Safrole is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential misuse in illicit drug manufacturing. Strict storage in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers is required. Personal protective equipment (PPE) including respirators and gloves must be worn to prevent inhalation and dermal absorption.
