Sarisan from leaves of Piper affinis hispidinervum C. DC (long pepper) Flavour and Fragrance Journal 16(2), pp 113-115 (2001) (../rhodium/pdf /sarisan.pipe DOI:10.1002/ffj.957 Abstract The essential oil obtained from the leaves of Piper affinis hispidinervum C. DC was analysed by GC- MS. Sixteen substances were identified, corresponding to 98.9% of the oil. The major component (74.3%) was sarisan (1-allyl-2-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyben Sarisan (an MMDA-2 precursor, mentioned as "asaricin" in Pihkal) is a relatively rare substance. |

Rhode, what's the point that you're trying to emphasize from this article? The fact that long pepper can contain up to 18% safrole, or, that sarisan is similar to safrole? (at least it looks similar to safrole, but I'm no chemist :-P) abuse |

Sarisan (6-methoxy-safrole), a MMDA-2 precursor | |||||||
I wanted to tell people about yet another safrole source, but mainly I wanted to inform about the existance of the relatively rare phenylpropanoid sarisan (6-methoxy-safrole), which is a precursor to MMDA-2, one of the "essential amphetamines", as Shulgin calls them (as they are derived from essential oil components). However, Shulgin uses the alternative name "asaricin" in Pihkal instead of sarisan. Edit: The propenylbenzene corresponding to sarisan/asaricin is carpacin, which is discussed further in Post 247833 (Rhodium: "Carpacin isolation & Physical Data", Chemistry Discourse) and Post 325672 (Trypstar: "MMDA-2: Carpacin from sesamol", Novel Discourse) Sarisan is also found in several other oils: Post 324027 (3base: "MMDA-2: sarisan in beilschmiedia miersii leaf oil", Chemicals & Equipment) Post 324777 (3base: "ashanti pepper oil: myristicin, sarisan", Novel Discourse) Post 354928 (3base: "MMDA-2 precursor form long pepper leaf oil", Novel Discourse) Post 380239 (3base: "isoelemicin,sarisan,isomyristicin in lovage roots", Novel Discourse) |
