Syringaldehyde Structural

What is Syringaldehyde?

Physical properties

light yellow-green to brown crystalline powder.

Chemical properties

4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde has sweet, balsamic-floral odor of considerable tenacity. lt has notes in common with Vanillin but is not as sweet and not as Vanilla-like, more floral and slightly greener.

Occurrence

Reported found in pineapple, beer, wine, grape brandy, rum, many different whisky products, sherry, roasted barley and hardwood smoke

The Uses of Syringaldehyde

Syringaldehyde 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.

The Uses of Syringaldehyde

Syringaldehyde 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.

Definition

ChEBI: A hydroxybenzaldehyde that is 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde substituted by methoxy groups at positions 3 and 5. Isolated from Pisonia aculeata and Panax japonicus var. major, it exhibits hypoglycemic activity.

Preparation

Vanillin is converted to 5-iodovanillin, which is treated with sodium methoxide to form 4-hydroxy-3,5- dimethyxybenzaldehyde.

Aroma threshold values

Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: weak sweet, slightly smoky, cinnamic, vanilla, leather-like with a phenolic medicinal nuance
