By methylation with dimethyl sulfate , the methyl ether, which is also under the trivial name is 2-propylanisole is known. Its boiling point is 207–209 ° C (757.7 mmHg ), its density is 0.96944 g / ml. The ethyl ether ( o - n -propylphenetol) boils at 213 ° C (754 mmHg) or at 99-100 ° C (16 mmHg). Its density at 26 ° C is 0.92396 g / ml, its refractive index at 26 ° C 1.494. The propionate boils at 245 ° C. The melting point of the phenyl urethane, which can easily be produced for analytical detection, is 111 ° C.
