The method of classical molecular dynamics was used to model the structure of aqueous solutions of coniferyl alcohol (CA) in the NVT-ensemble at a solute concentration of 2 wt. %, at densities corresponding to normal (T = 298 K, P = 0.1 MPa) and supercritical (T = 673 K, P = 23 MPa) conditions of the solvent. It was found that under normal conditions in the system under consideration, all CA molecules are united into one agglomerate. Under supercritical conditions, single CA molecules predominate in the structure of an aqueous-organic solution.
