VANILLIN FOR SYNTHESIS LR
It is used in flavorings, foods, perfumes, and pharmaceuticals. Vanillin is used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of several important drugs and other products.
Application
Production of vanillin from guaiacol is synthesized through electrophilic aromation substitution on reaction with glycoxylic acid; which results in synthesis of vanillylmandelic acid which is then converted 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglyoxylic acid and vanillin by oxidative decarboxylation
Dosage
Vanillin is most prominent as the principal flavor and aroma compound in vanilla. Cured vanilla pods contain about 2% by dry weight vanillin; on cured pods of high quality, relatively pure vanillin may be visible as a white dust or "frost" on the exterior of the pod.
