Vanillyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis
Description
4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (also known as vanillyl alcohol) is often used as a deodorant component that is active in preventing the formation of body odor. It can also be used as a flavoring agent. Recent studies have also demonstrated that it has certain pharmacological effects. For example, it has been confirmed that it has certain neuro-protective effects through suppressing the oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic activity in toxin-induced dopaminergic MN9D cells, making it a potential candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.
Chemical Properties
Vanillyl alcohol is a lignin derived aromatic diol. It has a mild, sweet, balsamic, vanilla-like odor. It has a potential for the production of renewable epoxy thermosets. A bio-based bisphenolic analogue, bisguaiacol, was synthesized via the electrophilic aromatic condensation of vanillyl alcohol and guaiacol. From this, the diglycidyl ether of bisguaiacol was prepared. Further, three single aromatic diglycidyl ethers were synthesized from vanillyl alcohol, gastrodigenin, and hydroquinone.
Chemical Properties
crystalline white to off-white powder
Uses
Used as a flavoring agent. Other possible uses, vanilla, coconut, cream and other dairy nuances, coumarin.
Definition
ChEBI: Vanillyl alcohol is a monomethoxybenzene that is 2-methoxyphenol substituted by a hydroxymethyl group at position 4. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a member of guaiacols and a member of benzyl alcohols.
Taste threshold values
Sweet, creamy and milky with a slightly powdery mouthfeel.
General Description
Vanillyl alcohol belongs to the phenolic group of compounds which are widely used as oxidants in food products.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Odor at 1.0%: sweet creamy, phenolic, vanilla and coconut-like with slight brown and coumarinic nuances.
Synthesis
Vanillyl alcohol is prepared from Vanillin by hydrogenation in presence of Platinum black.
