168393-18-8 - Introduction

threo-Guaiacylglycerol β-coniferyl ether is a natural product widely found in the cell walls of woody plants, especially in the lignin fraction. It is a compound with an aromatic structure that has a light yellow to brown solid form.

The main use of threo-Guaiacylglycerol β-coniferyl ether is as an important intermediate in the process of lignin biodegradation, especially in the study of biomass conversion and ligninase. It is also widely used in wood treatment and modification, pulp preparation, and as a new type of antibacterial agent and antioxidant research.

The preparation of threo-Guaiacylglycerol β-coniferyl ether can be achieved by enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the process of lignin biodegradation. Specifically, the formation of guaiacylglycerol β-coniferyl ether is catalyzed by lignin oxidase. In addition, it can also be isolated and purified from extracts of natural lignin.

Regarding safety information, since threo-Guaiacylglycerol β-coniferyl ether mainly exists in natural plants and is widely studied and applied, no obvious side effects or harmfulness have been found at present. However, as a chemical substance, it is still necessary to follow safe operating practices and avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation of its dust. In use should follow the corresponding laboratory operation and protective measures.
