Cumaldehyde ( 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde ) is structurally derived from benzaldehyde or cumene (isopropylbenzene) and belongs to the large group of terpenes .
Occurrence
It is a component of essential oils from eucalyptus , myrrh , cassia , caraway and other types. It has a pleasant odor and is used commercially in perfumes and other cosmetics.
Manufacturing
Cuminaldehyde may be synthetically prepared by the reduction of 4-isopropylbenzoyl chloride, or by formylation of cumene can be produced.
properties
Cumaldehyde is the biologically active component of the seed oil of cumin ( Cuminum cyminum ). The substances obtained from these seeds have an in vitro inhibiting effect on aldose reductase and alpha-glucosidase in rats . This inhibitory effect suggests a potential use as an antidiabetic agent. The terpenoid cuminaldehyde mostly undergoes reduction but not oxidation during biotransformation in mammals. It is one of the volatile compounds of the cumin aroma and can be detected in traces in the blood and milk of sheep whose feed and the like. a. Cumin seeds were added.
