Description

Populin CAS NO 99-17-2 is a naturally occurring phenolic glycoside, specifically 2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, valued for its role as a key intermediate and reference standard in biochemical research. Its significance lies in its utility for studying plant metabolism and as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex bioactive compounds. This high-purity chemical is essential for research institutions, pharmaceutical development laboratories, and companies specializing in the production of fine chemicals and analytical standards.

Application

• Biochemical Research Intermediate: Serves as a critical precursor in the study of salicin and salicylic acid derivative biosynthesis in plants.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in pharmacopeial testing.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of specialized organic compounds with potential biological activity.
• Plant Metabolism Studies: Employed in research to understand phenolic compound pathways and their physiological roles.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a calibrant or reference material in chromatographic (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic analyses.
