An anisole (or anisol) is an aromatic ether, also known as methoxybenzene, used in perfumery and organic synthesis.
Anisole is a compound, not an element and so it does not have an atomic number. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which have the atomic numbers 6,1, and 8 respectively.
Anisole is less likely to form peroxides compared to other ethers because the aromatic ring in anisole stabilizes the molecule through resonance. This stability makes it less susceptible to undergoing reactions that lead to peroxide formation. Additionally, anisole tends to have fewer labile hydrogen atoms that can participate in peroxide formation reactions.
Anisole can be converted into phenol by using a strong aqueous acid, such as hydrochloric acid, in the presence of water and heat. The acidic conditions will cleave the methoxy group (–OCH3) from the benzene ring, resulting in the formation of phenol. This reaction is known as hydrolysis of an ether.
Since they have different boiling points ( that differ by more than 50 degrees C) you can use fractional distillation ( or simple distillation) where you boil one compound out ( leting the vapors condense into a certain container and then collect the condensed vapors of the second compound (fluornene in this case) ... note: that the first vapors are [mostly] comming from the compound with a lower boiling point.

Anisole is a colorless liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents. Anisole is commonly used as a solvent and as a precursor in the synthesis of various compounds.

This stability makes it less susceptible to undergoing reactions that lead to peroxide formation.

Phenol, though additional iodide salt is sometimes needed.
Anisole has a low reactivity towards peroxide formation due to its relatively low susceptibility to autoxidation. This is because the aromatic ring stabilizes the intermediate radicals that are necessary for peroxide formation. Additionally, anisole does not contain any easily abstractable hydrogens that are required for peroxide formation.
Phenol is more reactive than anisole because the hydroxyl group in phenol is a stronger activating group compared to the methoxy group in anisole. The resonance stabilization of the phenoxide ion formed during reactions further enhances its reactivity. In contrast, anisole's methoxy group is a weaker activating group and does not stabilize the negative charge as effectively.

An anisyl is any of three isomeric univalent radicals derived from anisole.
Anisole is ortho and para directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions because the lone pairs on the oxygen atom can donate electron density to the ring through resonance, stabilizing the carbocation intermediate formed during the reaction at the ortho and para positions. This makes those positions more favorable for electrophilic attack.
Anisole is mainly used for its derivatives for many natural and artificial toiletry uses. Its derivatives are often used in items like perfume, pharmaceuticals, and some insect pheromones.
Anisole has a methoxyl group that participates in activating the benzene ring during acylation. When the benzene ring breaks its bond in order to attach an acetone functional group, it is destablized and therefore energy unfavorable. However, other functional groups like alkoxides (-OR) animo (-NR2), thio groups (-SR) all have lone electrons AND single bonds, which can form into double bonds--donating those electrons to the benzene ring and stabilizing its positive charge. The attachment will always para to the activating group due to steric effects, followed by ortho position due to specific locations that the positive charge can exist (when the methoxyl group adds its electrons).
