Introduction | carthanol belongs to alcohol derivatives and can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. |
Application | carvacrol is used in food additives, flavors, antioxidants, insect repellents, sanitizers, preservatives, deodorants, pharmaceutical intermediates and other important products, market prospects are very broad, in addition, carvacrol is the main active component of natural oregano oil. Origanum oil is a feed additive approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of China. It is a safe, efficient, green and non-incompatible traditional Chinese medicine additive. |
preparation | add 20.0G of L-carapol, 1.0 grams of palladium-carbon (containing 10% Pd), stirred with a magnetic stirrer, heated to 135°C in an oil bath, and incubated for 1 hour. After TLC detection, L-carthanol disappeared completely, and then cooled to room temperature, after filtration, the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure to give 18.2g of carvacrol in a light yellow color in a yield of 91%. The obtained palladium-carbon catalyst can be reused. |
biological activity | Carveol is an endogenous metabolite. |
