Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside(CAS: 38965-51-4)

Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside (CAS: 38965-51-4) is a yellow crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 442.44 g/mol. It has limited water solubility and is soluble in methanol and ethanol. It is relatively stable under normal conditions but can react with strong acids and bases. Its crystalline form is suitable for powder or solid applications.

Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside can be synthesized through glycosylation of eriodictyol with glucose using a mild acid or base catalyzed reaction. Commonly, this involves treating eriodictyol with glucose in the presence of a catalyst such as H2SO4 or NaOH at a suitable temperature and time to achieve a yield of around 70-80%. The reaction is typically monitored by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography).

Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside is used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also utilized in the food industry as a natural colorant. Additionally, it has applications in the cosmetic industry for skincare products. Its presence in polymers and sensors is less common but is explored in specialized research areas.

When handling Eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside (CAS: 38965-51-4), it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be carefully cleaned up using suitable absorbents, and the material safety data sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for specific guidelines. Handling should be done with care to avoid skin contact and inhalation.
