3-[4-(1-Methylethyl)phenyl]-2-propenoic acid

Description:

3-[4-(1-Methylethyl)phenyl]-2-propenoic acid, commonly known as a derivative of cinnamic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated carboxylic acid structure. It features a propenoic acid backbone with a phenyl group substituted at the 3-position and an isopropyl group at the para position of the phenyl ring. This compound typically exhibits properties such as being a solid at room temperature, with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is known for its potential applications in the fields of organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in the production of various chemical compounds. The presence of the double bond in the propenoic acid moiety contributes to its reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations. Additionally, its structural features may impart biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.

(2E)-3-(4-Isopropylphenyl)acrylic acid

CAS: 3368-21-6

(2E)-3-(4-Isopropylphenyl)acrylic acid (2E-IPA) is a substrate of cytochrome P450 and is metabolized to 3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid. It is also an oxidant, which can be used for the oxidation of other substrates. The formation rate of 2E-IPA varies depending on the presence of an isopropyl group, which interacts with the heme group in the active site. This interaction affects the reactivity of 2E-IPA in catalyzing reactions with electron donors and electron acceptors. The demethylation reaction of 2E-IPA leads to 4-methoxycinnamic acid, which has been shown to have anticancer properties. Demethylation also occurs in cinnamic acids and dimethoxy phenylpropanoids, which are precursors to cinnamic acids.
