Description
(EZ)-Coniferyl Alcohol (CAS 458-35-5) is a hydroxycinnamic alcohol derived from lignin biosynthesis, also known commercially as Coniferol and gamma-Hydroxyisoeugenol. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under pharmaceutical intermediates with EC number 207-277-9.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, Coniferyl Alcohol acts as a reactive intermediate in the production of lignin-based compounds, where its phenolic hydroxyl group enables controlled radical coupling reactions. In antioxidant applications, it scavenges free radicals through electron donation at the aromatic ring, and in polymer chemistry it initiates oxidative polymerization to form structured lignin networks.
This material is supplied as a beige crystalline solid compliant with REACH registration requirements and suitable for pharmaceutical-grade workflows. It is classified under HS code 29095000 and available for procurement across the Pharmaceuticals, Food and Nutrition, and Biotechnology sectors. Packaging formats and certificate documentation are available on request.
