“…This dioxystyrene is apparently formed in trace amounts by decarboxylation of caffeic acid during pyrolysis or roasting (Clarke and MacRae, 1983;Heinrich and Baltes, 1987) and, as generally known for o-and p-dihydroxybenzene moieties, can produce hydrogen peroxide when exposed to atmospheric conditions (Clapp et al, 1990). Furthermore, this molecule is extremely susceptible to oxidation, resulting in rapid polymerization reactions in solution (Tiedke, 1936) and making isolation and identification difficult.…”

Caffeic acid subjected to mild pyrolysis (225−226 °C) under vacuum resulted in rapid decarboxylation and the formation of simple catechol monomers as well as more complex cyclocondensed dimers and polymers. This reaction yielded the same spectrum of products as did acid-catalyzed cyclization of caffeic acid. The major pyrolysis products were identified by reversed-phase HPLC and LC−tandem mass spectrometry. Two novel compounds, identified by MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR as 1,3-cis- and 1,3-trans-tetraoxygenated phenylindans, were present as major products in both the caffeic acid pyrolysate and the acid-treated sample. The stability and reactivity of the pyrolysis products in weakly buffered aqueous solutions were determined concomitantly by measuring hydrogen peroxide generation and by monitoring the concentration of the individual components by reversed-phase HPLC. Such model studies may provide information pertaining to reaction mechanisms and the nature of the compounds involved in hydrogen peroxide formation in coffee.
