- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Data in this peer-reviewed publication were taken from many sources, including both compilations and primary literature. Where conflicts were found, the values deemed most reliable were chosen for inclusion in the handbook. A reference source was not provided for this parameter, nor was the experimental method.

Description of key information
Several peer reviewed sources indicate that the melting point of Anisole is between -37 and -37.5 degrees C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -37 °C
Additional information
Based on the average of several peer reviewed sources the melting point of Anisole was determined to be -37 degrees C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
