Additional Infomation
Benzoin is a grayish-white to yellowish-white crystalline solid with a camphor odor and a slightly pungent taste. When broken, the fresh surface is milky white. (NTP, 1992)
Benzoin is a ketone compound composed of acetophenone with a hydroxyl group and a phenyl substituent at the α-position. It is the parent compound of the benzoin class. It is an EC 3.1.1.1 (carboxylesterase) inhibitor. It is a member of the benzoin class and also a secondary α-hydroxy ketone.
Benzoin is a white crystalline compound prepared by the condensation of benzaldehyde in potassium cyanide and used in organic synthesis. Do not confuse it with benzoin gum produced by STYRAX (see [DB11222]). Benzoin is a colorant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for labeling fruits and vegetables.
Benzoin has been reported in Dianthus caryophyllus, and relevant data exists. (±)-Benzoin is a flavoring agent. Benzoin is an organic compound with the molecular formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxyketone linked by two phenyl groups. It is a grayish-white crystalline solid with a slightly camphor-like odor. Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde via the benzoin condensation reaction. It is chiral and exists in two enantiomers: (R)-benzoin and (S)-benzoin. (Wikipedia)
Benzoin belongs to the benzoin family of compounds. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-hydroxyketone linked by two phenyl groups.
Benzoin is a metabolite of or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
It is a white crystalline compound obtained by the condensation of benzaldehyde in potassium cyanide and is used in organic synthesis. Do not confuse it with the benzoin gum of benzoin (STYRAX). See also: Siamese benzoin gel (note moved to); benzoin resin (note moved to).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 50 mg/mL (235.58 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.78 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.78 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.78 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
