CAS 531-29-3: Coniferin
Description:Coniferin, with the CAS number 531-29-3, is a phenolic glycoside primarily found in coniferous trees, particularly in the wood and bark of species such as pine and spruce. It is a natural compound that serves as a precursor to lignin, contributing to the structural integrity of plant cell walls. Coniferin is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes a glucose moiety linked to a coniferyl alcohol, a type of phenolic compound. This glycosidic bond makes coniferin soluble in water, allowing it to play a role in the transport of phenolic compounds within the plant. In terms of its chemical properties, coniferin exhibits antioxidant activity and may have potential applications in pharmaceuticals and food preservation due to its ability to scavenge free radicals. Additionally, it has been studied for its role in plant defense mechanisms against pathogens. Overall, coniferin is an important compound in both ecological and industrial contexts, reflecting the complex chemistry of plant secondary metabolites.
