'''Anethole''' (also known as '''anise camphor''')<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/anise-camphor|title=Anise camphor definition and meaning &#124; Collins English Dictionary}}</ref> is an [[organic compound]] that is widely used as a [[flavoring]] substance. It is a derivative of the [[aromatic]] compound [[allylbenzene]] and occurs widely in the [[essential oil]]s of plants. It is in the class of [[phenylpropanoid]] organic compounds. It contributes a large component of the odor and flavor of [[anise]] and [[fennel]] (both in the botanical family [[Apiaceae]]), [[Syzygium anisatum|anise myrtle]] ([[Myrtaceae]]), [[liquorice]] ([[Fabaceae]]), magnolia blossoms, and [[star anise]] ([[Schisandraceae]]). Closely related to anethole is its [[isomer]] [[estragole]], which is abundant in [[tarragon]] ([[Asteraceae]]) and [[basil]] ([[Lamiaceae]]), and has a flavor reminiscent of anise. It is a colorless, fragrant, mildly volatile liquid.{{clarify|reason=does this statement refer to anethole or estragole?|date=October 2023}}<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|first1=Karl-Georg|last1=Fahlbusch|first2=Franz-Josef|last2=Hammerschmidt|first3=Johannes|last3=Panten|first4=Wilhelm|last4=Pickenhagen|first5=Dietmar|last5=Schatkowski|first6=Kurt|last6=Bauer|first7=Dorothea|last7=Garbe|first8=Horst|last8=Surburg|title=Flavors and Fragrances|doi=10.1002/14356007.a11_141}}</ref> Anethole is only slightly soluble in [[water]] but exhibits high solubility in [[ethanol]]. This trait causes certain anise-flavored [[liqueur]]s to become opaque when diluted with water; this is called the [[ouzo effect]].
