DILLAPIOLE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Dillapiole is a viscous, almost colorless liquid. B.P. 285℃. Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils, almost insoluble in Propylene glycol.

Uses

Dillapiol is an organic compound and essential oil commonly extracted from dill weed, though it can be found in a variety of other plants such as fennel root.

Uses

Dillapiole may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in French bean Phaseolus sp. treated with pesticidal formulation, dill, caraway seeds and pharmaceutical formulations using chromatography techniques.

Preparation

Dillapiole is produced from East Indian Dill seed oil by isolation. Or: synthetically from Gallaceto-phenone dimethylether.

Definition

ChEBI: Dillapiole is a member of benzodioxoles. It has a role as a metabolite.

General Description

Dillapiole, a natural constituent of Anethum sowa Roxb, and plant-based insecticide synergist is obtained from Piperaceae, Piper aduncum L. It exhibits potential biological properties, and the essential oil extracted from Piper aduncum L., rich in dillapiole content, is commercially available as an alternative for the natural production of synergistic lignans.
