Abstract

This report discusses the synthesis of a biosourced divanillin derivative obtained by Knoevenagel condensation. The compound was fully characterized by proton (1H), carbon (13C), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY), and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) NMR, as well as high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS). We also investigated the optical properties through UV-visible spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. At last, the thermal properties of this divanillin derivative were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) as well as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
