Œstrogenic Activity of Di-Anol, a Dimeride of p-Propenyl-Phenol

Abstract

DI-ANETHOLE or iso-anethole (I) has been described by Kraut and Schlun1 and later by Orndorff, Terrasse and Morton2 as an unsaturated liquid dimeride of anethole. Its structure was established by Goodall and Haworth3, who obtained from it, by oxidation, anisic acid and a ketone, which was identified as (II) by synthesis.
