4-HYDROXY-3-METHOXYCINNAMALDEHYDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamaldehyde is suitable for use in a study to investigate the antioxidant and antiradical activities of ferulates using a β-carotene-linoleate model system and a DPPH radical scavenging assay, respectively.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of cinnamaldehydes that is cinnamaldehyde substituted by a hydroxy group at position 4 and a methoxy group at position 3.

General Description

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamaldehyde is an isoflavonoid. It has been isolated from the insecticidally active hot dichloromethane extract of heartwood of Gliricidia sepium, seed kernels of Melia azedarach L and barks of Cinnamomum cebuense.
