Properties and reactions
Chavicol is miscible with alcohol, ether, and chloroform. Dimerization of chavicol gives the neo-lignan magnolol.
Uses
Chavicol is used as an odorant in perfumery and as a flavor. It is found in many essential oils, including anise and Gardenia.[2]

gollark: Yes, this is planned.
gollark: As well as actually working, maybe, and not allowing historical data to accumulate forever, it could monitor APIONET for functionality, and, using proven osmarksDNS™ technologies, offer a domain which returns a random IP selected from all operational APIONET servers.
gollark: I have a useful* idea: onstat™++™. The current status.osmarks.net is down. However, via "oracle cloud" I can get a free bad VPS (1/4 of a core allocated and 1GB of RAM, or something) which should be sufficient to run a shinier version.
gollark: For example, a webmaze, like in my tech demo.
