2-Propenoic acid, 3-[3-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-, (E)-

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 3-[3-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-, (E)-, also known by its CAS number 138835-16-2, is an organic compound characterized by its structure that includes a propenoic acid moiety and a phenylmethoxy substituent. This compound features a double bond in the propenoic acid part, which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in polymerization reactions. The presence of the phenylmethoxy group enhances its aromatic character and may influence its solubility and interaction with other molecules. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit properties such as being colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids, with moderate to high boiling points. They may also demonstrate moderate to high reactivity due to the presence of the double bond, making them useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as intermediates in the production of polymers or other complex organic molecules. Additionally, the E-configuration indicates the specific geometric arrangement around the double bond, which can affect the compound's physical and chemical properties.
