Description:4-Ethoxycinnamic acid is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both an ethoxy group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It features a cinnamic acid backbone, which consists of a trans-stilbene structure with a carboxylic acid substituent at one end and an ethoxy group at the para position of the phenyl ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. 4-Ethoxycinnamic acid exhibits properties that make it of interest in various applications, including its potential use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a UV-absorbing agent in cosmetic formulations. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties, which are subjects of ongoing research. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential hazards associated with its use.
