Applications
DescriptionSyringaldehyde is an important constituent of many plant isolates and has widespread occurrence in wood products. It can be easily converted to trimethoxy-benzaldehyde which is an essential intermediate of the antibacterial drug trimethoprim. It is also used in the colorimetric determination of free chlorine in water.
OccurrenceReported found in pineapple, beer, wine, grape brandy, rum, many different whisky products, sherry, roasted barley and hardwood smoke
UsesSyringaldehyde is used in biological studies for the isolation and structural characterization of milled wood lignin, dioxane lignin, and cellulolytic lignin preparation from Brewer''s spent grain.
UsesSyringaldehyde may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in guacoextracts and pharmaceutical preparations,(1) cognacs and wines,(2) plum brandies,(4) and wheat straw(5) by various chromatography techniques.
General DescriptionSyringaldehyde is an aromatic phenolic aldehyde and a degradation product of lignin. It exhibits antioxidant activity and is reported to inhibit prostaglandin synthetase enzyme. The synthetic form of syringaldehyde is commercially used in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, textiles, pulp and paper industries.
Preparation methods
PreparationVanillin is converted to 5-iodovanillin, which is treated with sodium methoxide to form 4-hydroxy-3,5- dimethyxybenzaldehyde.
