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.
