CAS 1929-30-2

Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate

Description:

Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, with the CAS number 1929-30-2, is an organic compound commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, particularly as a UV filter in sunscreens. It is an ester derived from p-methoxycinnamic acid and ethanol, characterized by its light yellow to amber color and a pleasant, sweet aroma. The compound exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and oils, but has limited solubility in water. Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate is known for its ability to absorb UVB radiation, providing protection against sunburn and skin damage. Additionally, it is stable under normal conditions but may degrade when exposed to prolonged sunlight or high temperatures. Its safety profile has been evaluated, and it is generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetic formulations. However, as with any chemical, it is essential to adhere to recommended usage levels to minimize potential skin irritation or sensitization. Overall, ethyl p-methoxycinnamate plays a significant role in enhancing the efficacy of sun protection products.

Ethyl 4-methoxycinnamate

CAS: 1929-30-2

Ethyl 4-methoxycinnamate is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is used as a food additive, and has been shown to have anti-bacterial, analgesic, and antioxidant properties. The compound interacts with the β-cyclodextrin molecule when it is dissolved in water. This interaction leads to a decrease in its solubility in water.
