Popis: | Siam Benzoin gum and coniferyl benzoate isolated from the gum were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride. In addition to the anticipated coniferyl alcohol, p -coumaryl alcohol was isolated from the phenolic fraction and it was found that the benzoate in Siam Benzoin gum contains 15 per cent p -coumaryl alcohol; sinapyl and caffeyl alcohol were shown to be absent. By use of a lithium aluminum hydride reduction coniferyl alcohol can be obtained directly from Siam Benzoin gum, whereas attempted saponification only results in polymerization of the benzoate ester. |
