Coniferylaldehyde is a chemical compound from the group of aldehydes .
Occurrence
Coniferyl aldehyde occurs naturally as a component of the lignin of many plants, which was already assumed by P. Klason in 1897.
Extraction and presentation
Coniferylaldehyde can be obtained from methoxymethylvanillin , which condenses with acetaldehyde and is freed from the methoxymethyl group by acid. It can also be represented biochemically (e.g. by cinnamoyl: CoA reductase).
properties
Coniferyl aldehyde is a yellow-orange solid that is soluble in benzene and ethanol .
use
Coniferyl aldehyde is suitable for use in studies of the antioxidant and antiradical activities of ferulates using a β-carotene-linoleate model system or a DPPH radical scavenger test.
