Applications of Methyl Cinnamate

Methyl cinnamate (CAS NO. 103-26-4) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acid esters. These are compound containing an ester derivative of cinnamic acid.



Other names of methyl cinnamate: methyl trans-cinnamate, methyl e-cinnamate, cinnamic acid methyl ester, methyl cinnamylate, methyl 3-phenylacrylate, methyl e-3-phenylprop-2-enoate, methyl 3-phenylpropenoate, trans-cinnamic acid methyl ester, trans-methyl cinnamate, etc.

Applications of Methyl Cinnamate

Methyl cinnamate is a chemical reagent used in the synthesis of fungacidal compounds. Also used in the synthesis of flavaglines as potent anticancer and cytoprotective agents. Flavouring agent methyl cinnamate is the methyl ester of cinnamic acid and is a white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. It is found naturally in a variety of plants, including in fruits, like strawberry, and some culinary spices, and some varieties of basil. Eucalyptus olida has the highest known concentrations of methyl cinnamate (98%) with a 2-6% fresh weight yield in the leaf and twigs. Methyl cinnamate is found in many foods, some of which are Chinese cinnamon, fruits, herbs and spices, and sweet basil.

Storage Method of Methyl Cinnamate

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months(2-8℃). Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20℃. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate - A Highly Protective Sunscreen Agent

Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate (CAS No. 71617-10-2) is a natural compound that absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light and it is found in the roots of the Indian Galangal plant, a member of the Ginger family. Commercially, it is prepared from Cinnamic acid which is found in the leaves of the cinnamon tree, and is chemically identical to the naturally occurring molecule. How does Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate work as a sunscreen agent? Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate is mainly made of a fabric with a certain sunscreen effect. The principle of sun protection is mainly occlusion, and it does not have a good effect on ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength such as UVA. UVA band, wavelength 320 ~ 420nm, also known as long-wave black spot effect ultraviolet light. It has a strong penetrating power and can penetrate most transparent glass and plastic. More than 98% of the long-wave ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight can penetrate the ozone layer and the cloud layer to reach the surface of the earth

Properties, Synthesis and Applications of 3-Phenyl-1-propanol

3-Phenyl-1-propanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. 3-Phenyl-1-propanol is found in alcoholic beverages. 3-Phenyl-1-propanol occurs in storax and fern balsam. Also present in Vaccinium species fruits, guava fruit and peel, blackberry, other fruits, rum, white wine, shitake mushroom, matsutake mushroom and peated malt. Synonyms of  3-Phenyl-1-propanol: 3-Phenylpropan-1-ol; 3-Phenyl-n-propanol; Hydrocinnamic alcohol; 3-Phenylpropyl alcohol; Phenylpropyl alcohol; Phenylpropylic alcohol; (3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene Chemical properties of 3-Phenyl-1-propanol: 3-Phenyl-1-propanol is colorless viscous liquid with a sweet scent of flowers and sweetmeat and the flavor of fresh fruit after dilution. Its boiling point is at 236 °C, flash point at 109 °C. It is soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol and most of the non-volatile oil, an

Applications of Trans-cinnamic Acid

Trans-cinnamic acid, also known as (2e)-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid or (E)-cinnamate, is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-cinnamic acid is a sweet, balsam, and honey tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as maitake, mustard spinach, common wheat, and barley, which makes trans-Cinnamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Trans-cinnamic acid can be found primarily in saliva. Trans-cinnamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Trans-cinnamic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Cinnamic acid is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CHCHCO2H. It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. Classified as an unsaturated carboxylic acid, it occurs naturally in a number of plants.
