PHENOL GLYCOSIDES A ny compound with a hydroxyl group linked directly to a benzene ring is called PHENOL.
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
Any compound with a hydroxyl group linked directly to a benzene ring is called PHENOL.
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
Some phenolic groups are found in the plants in the free state; e.g. thymol, carvacrol, eugenol…
There are those in the structure of diphenol such as Flavonoids; triphenols such as tannins
thymolquercetin
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
There are dimerization derivatives of phenols in phenyl
propanoid structure; e.g. lignans
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
Glycosidic bond between phenolic –OH and sugar is called PHENOL GLYCOSIDE
Identification and Properties
They are less soluble in water, polyphenols are slightly more soluble
They are soluble in alcohol and ether
Most of them are water-vapor drift volatile
They have weak acidic property
Alkaline phenolates occur with alkaline hydroxides(They dissolve in alkaline hydroxides) this feature distinguishes phenols from alcohols
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
Unlike acids, they don’t dissolve in alkaline carbonates.
Identification with colour reactions:
Free phenols + aqueous ferric chloride
(FeCl3) neutral medium
blue/green/purple/red colour (But also
hydroxypyridine, some organic acids, enols,
oximes may give positive reaction)
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
Phenols + amines dinitrozed by nitroso acid (e.g. P-nitranyline) coloured hydrasoics occur.
Phenols + aldehydes (e.g. Vaniline-HCl) and 2,6-dibromquinone
chlorimide in acidic medium give colour reactions.
Phenols + acetic acid and benzoic acid characteristic esters
and meyhyl derivatives occur.
Identification is also available by chromatographic techniques.
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
QUANTIFICATION
1) Colorimetric: By using colouring reactions.
2) Chromatographic: Measured upon phenolic aglycones.
3) Titirmetric: Can be applied after extraction with alkaline hydroxides.
4) Gravimetrically: After phenolics precipated by aquaeous Br, is weighed out and the amount is calculated.
PHENOL GLYCOSIDES
USAGES
1) Some of them are antiseptic
2) Antipyretic and analgesic
3) Some phenolic aglycones are odorous; used as
aromatizan or odour improver in pharmaceutical and
food industries.
