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.

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...
