Cas no 93-03-8 (Veratryl alcohol)

Veratryl alcohol (3,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol) is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with the molecular formula C9H12O3. It is widely used as a substrate in lignin peroxidase studies due to its role in lignin degradation, making it valuable in enzymatic and biochemical research. The compound’s methoxy groups enhance its reactivity in oxidative processes, particularly in studies involving fungal enzymes. Veratryl alcohol is also employed as a precursor in organic synthesis for producing fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its high purity and stability ensure reliable performance in laboratory applications. Proper handling and storage are recommended to maintain its integrity.
