Description

Dihydrosafrole is a chemical compound that is an aromatic compound. It is a colorless liquid that has a strong odor. Dihydrosafrole has been shown to be carcinogenic and mutagenic in animal studies. Safrole, the main component of this compound, is the precursor for safrol, which has shown anti-cancer activities in cell cultures and in mice. Safrole also has been found to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells and to induce their apoptosis. Safrole can be synthesized from eugenol or from isosafrole by acylation with acetic acid followed by hydrolysis of the ester group with base. The industrial preparation of safrole from eugenol or isosafrole involves metal hydroxides as catalysts for the acylation reaction.
