Common NameSesamol
DescriptionSesamol, also known as 5-benzodioxolol or sesamol lithium, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzodioxoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to either isomers of dioxole. Dioxole is a five-membered unsaturated ring of two oxygen atoms and three carbon atoms. Sesamol has been found to be an antioxidant that may prevent the spoilage of oils, It also may prevent the spoilage of oils by acting as an antifungal. Sesamol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sesamol is a natural organic compound which is a component of sesame seeds and sesame oil. Outside of the human body, Sesamol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sesames. Sesamol has also been detected, but not quantified in, fats and oils. This could make sesamol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is sparingly soluble in water, but miscible with most oils. Sesame oil is used in Ayurvedic Medicine. Alexander Shulgin used sesamol in his book PiHKAL to make MMDA-2. It can be used in the synthesis of paroxetine. It can be produced by organic synthesis from heliotropine. Sesamol was first documented in 2010 (PMID: 20015631). It is a white crystalline solid that is a derivative of phenol.
