Cryptomeridiol 11-rhamnoside 98% Purity Natural Product Reference Standard CAS 349112-30-7 Research Grade Sesquiterpenoid Glycoside

Product Overview

Cryptomeridiol 11-rhamnoside is a naturally occurring sesquiterpenoid glycoside, featuring the eudesmane-type sesquiterpene aglycone cryptomeridiol glycosylated at the 11-position with an α-L-rhamnopyranosyl moiety. This compound is primarily isolated from plants of the Cupressaceae family, particularly from Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar), from which its name is derived. With a molecular formula approximately C₂₁H₃₈O₆ and a molecular weight of approximately 386.52 g/mol, this compound appears as a white to off-white powder. It serves as a valuable reference standard for phytochemical analysis and chemotaxonomic studies.

Natural Sources

Cryptomeridiol 11-rhamnoside has been isolated from various coniferous plants, particularly from Cryptomeria japonica and other Cupressaceae species. It is a characteristic secondary metabolite of these plants and contributes to their chemical defense mechanisms.
