Controlled Product

CAS: 119-53-9

Benzoin is a substance that can be used to treat many different types of symptoms. It can be found in the form of a white powder, or it can be dissolved in alcohol and then applied to the skin. Benzoin is an aromatic compound that has inhibitory properties which are related to its chemical structure. The reaction solution with benzoin inhibits the oxidation of phenols, one of the steps in the synthesis of benzoin. This reaction is catalyzed by benzoin, which means that benzoin itself does not react with any other substances. Benzoin also has kinetic properties, meaning that it reacts at a certain rate depending on how quickly it is mixed with other substances. Benzoin has been shown to have amoebicidal activity when used against model systems such as rat liver microsomes and asymmetric synthesis. It also has high resistance against antimicrobial agents, and may be able to help lower body mass index by inhibiting lipid accumulation.
