Controlled Product

CAS: 495-76-1

Piperonyl alcohol is an enzyme inhibitor that blocks the oxidation of piperonal, a chemical found in many plants and fruits. It has been used as a pharmaceutical preparation to treat skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis. Piperonyl alcohol can be used in food composition as a preservative and antioxidant. This compound is also used in the production of polymers for paints, plastics, and rubber. Piperonyl alcohol inhibits melanogenesis by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and interrupting the synthesis of melanin. The use of this compound to inhibit melanin synthesis has been approved for cosmetic use in Europe.
Piperonyl alcohol was first synthesized by Ludwig Knorr in 1885 from piperonal, an aromatic organic compound found in many plants and fruits. The reaction solution obtained from the hydrolysis of piperonyl acetate with hydrochloric acid is reacted with cationic polymerization using sodium carbonate (NaCO) as a catalyst to produce
