This colourless crystalline solid is a [[phytochemical]], one of the [[monolignol]]s. It is synthetized via the [[phenylpropanoid]] [[biochemical pathway]]. When copolymerized with related aromatic compounds, coniferyl alcohol forms [[lignin]] or [[lignan]]s.<ref>Kenji liyama, Thi Bach-Tuyet Lam, and Bruce A. Stone "Covalent Cross-Links in the Cell Wall" Plant Physiology (1994) volume 104, p. 315-320</ref> Coniferyl alcohol is an intermediate in [[biosynthesis]] of [[eugenol]] and of [[stilbene]] and [[coumarin]]. [[Gum benzoin]] contains significant amount of coniferyl alcohol and its [[ester]]s. Found in both [[Gymnosperm]] and [[Angiosperm]] plants. [[Sinapyl alcohol]] and [[Paracoumaryl alcohol]], the other two lignin monomers, are found in [[Angiosperm]] plants and grasses. ==References== <references/> [[Category:Phenylpropanoids]] [[Category:Monolignols]] {{Monolignols}} {{Phenylpropanoids}} {{alcohol-stub}} [[de:Coniferylalkohol]] [[ja:コニフェリルアルコール]] [[pl:Alkohol koniferylowy]] [[sv:Koniferylalkohol]]
