(S)-(-)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-2-C

Description:
(S)-(-)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-2-C, commonly known as a form of tocopherol or vitamin E derivative, is characterized by its antioxidant properties, which are crucial for protecting cellular membranes from oxidative damage. This compound features a chroman ring structure, which is a bicyclic compound that includes a benzene ring fused to a saturated six-membered ring. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its lipophilicity, enhancing its solubility in fats and oils. The hydroxyl group at the 6-position is significant for its biological activity, as it allows for the donation of hydrogen atoms to free radicals, thereby neutralizing them. This compound is often studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in skin health and its protective effects against various diseases linked to oxidative stress. Additionally, its stereochemistry, indicated by the (S)- configuration, plays a crucial role in its biological activity and interaction with other molecules in biological systems.
