Estragole (CAS 140-67-0), also known as 4-Allylanisole, is a naturally occurring allylbenzene derivative. It is primarily synthesized via alkylation of anisole or isolated from essential oils like basil and fennel using steam distillation.
Regulatory bodies classify Estragole as a potential carcinogen; its use in direct food additives is restricted in the EU. Store in tightly sealed containers away from oxidizers, heat, and ignition sources to prevent degradation and fire hazards.
