A unique material comprising “passion” with the physiological action of passenolTM(piceatannol) was written by Kawakami, Shinpei;Tanzil, Adrianus David;Mori, Sadao;Kawama, Toshihiro;Morita, Minoru. And the article was included in Kagaku to Seibutsu in 2021.Application In Synthesis of (E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol This article mentions the following:
PassenolTM, which is rich in the characteristic polyphenol called piceatannol, is a material whose skin effect (improvement of water content and elasticity) and fat burning promoting effect introduced this time have been demonstrated in human tests. Currently, it is not only blended in its own products, but also sold as a raw material, and the author hope that the spread of products containing the passenolTM will contribute to improving people’s QOL as much as possible. The author believe that piceatannol has many functions that have not yet been clarified, and the author will continue to work on research aimed at elucidating new functions and working mechanisms of passenolTM and piceatannol. In parallel with the development of raw materials, the author is also engaged in research on the functionality of piceatannol, and this time the author will introduce the physiol. effects of passenolTM and its active ingredient, piceatannol. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol (cas: 10083-24-6Application In Synthesis of (E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol).
(E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol (cas: 10083-24-6) belongs to alcohols. A strong base can deprotonate an alcohol to yield an alkoxide ion (R―O−). For example, sodamide (NaNH2), a very strong base, abstracts the hydrogen atom of an alcohol. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.Application In Synthesis of (E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol
