3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)allyl alcohol - Introduction
p-Coumaryl alcohol (p-coumenol) is a phenolic compound naturally occurring in plants with the chemical formula C9H10O2. It is a colorless crystal, soluble in alcohol and ether solvents, almost insoluble in water.
p-Coumaryl alcohol is commonly found in the structure of lignin (lignin) in plants. It is an important physiologically active substance with antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. It is also involved in the growth and development of plants.
In industry, p-Coumaryl alcohol is used as an aroma enhancer for flavors and fragrances. It can add fragrance to perfumes, cosmetics and food products.
The preparation methods of p-Coumaryl alcohol mainly include two kinds: Extraction from natural plants and chemical synthesis. When extracting from natural plants, an acidic solvent, such as acidic methanol, can be used to extract lignin, and then the p-Coumaryl alcohol can be obtained by separation and purification. In chemical synthesis, p-Coumaryl can be synthesized by reacting catecholic acid carboxylic acid with alkanal or anhydride.
Regarding security information, p-Coumaryl alcohol is generally considered safe under regular use cases. However, due to individual differences and special circumstances, it is still necessary to pay attention to protective measures, such as avoiding contact with eyes, skin or inhalation of dust. When handling or using, it is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles. In case of accidental contact or accidental exposure, seek medical help immediately.
