Uses

Used in Dietary Supplements:
Resveratrol is used as a dietary supplement for its purported health benefits, including its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to support heart health, potentially reduce the risk of certain cancers, and may contribute to neuroprotection against degenerative diseases.
Used in Topical Skincare Products:
In the skincare industry, resveratrol is utilized as an ingredient in topical products due to its antioxidant properties, which may help protect the skin from environmental damage and promote a more youthful appearance. It is also considered for its potential anti-aging effects, aiming to improve skin health and slow down the aging process.
Used in Anti-Aging Applications:
Resveratrol is employed in anti-aging applications for its potential to extend healthspan and delay the onset of age-related diseases. It is believed to activate sirtuins and AMPK pathways, which are associated with longevity and metabolic health.
Used in Weight Management Products:
Resveratrol is also used in weight management products due to its potential to mimic the effects of caloric restriction, which is known to have health benefits and can aid in weight control. It may help in modulating metabolic pathways that influence energy balance and weight regulation.

Electro-organic reactions. Part 54: Quinodimethane chemistry; Part 2 - Electrogeneration and reactivity of o-quinodimethanes

The electrochemical generation and characterisation of a variety of o-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) are described together with the outcome of preparative experiments in which they are key intermediates. The quinodimethanes are conveniently formed, in DMF, by both direct and redox-catalysed electroreduction of 1,2-bis(halomethyl)arenes. Their predominant reaction is polymerisation to poly(o-xylylene) (o-PX) polymers. In the presence of dienophiles the electrogenerated o-QDMs may undergo efficient cycloaddition reaction and distinctions between the possible mechanisms have been attempted on the basis of voltammetric, preparative and stereochemical experiments. Contrary to the precedent of the corresponding methyl ester, diphenyl maleate radical-anion isomerises only slowly to the fumarate radical-anion, yet co-electrolysis of 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,4-dimethoxybenzene and diphenyl maleate or diphenyl fumarate gives exclusively the corresponding trans-adduct. Co-electrolysis of dimethyl maleate with either 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (more easily reduced) or 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,4-dimethoxybenzene (less easily reduced) gave only o-PX polymer. The results are rationalised in terms of a double nucleophilic substitution mechanism where electron transfer between dienophile radical-anion and dihalide is relatively slow. Where electron transfer from maleate or fumarate radical-anions is likely to be fast o-quinodimethanes are formed by redox-catalysis and they polymerise rather than undergo Diels-Alder reaction. Dimerisation of the dienophile radical-anions, with k2 = 104 to 105 M-1 s-1, does not apparently compete with nucleophilic substitution or, where relevant, electron transfer.
