2-Propenoic acid,3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-, (2E)-

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-, (2E)-, commonly known as a derivative of acrylic acid, features a propenoic acid backbone with a substituted aromatic ring. This compound is characterized by its unsaturated carboxylic acid structure, which includes a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms of the propenoic acid moiety. The presence of the 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl group introduces additional functional properties, such as increased hydrophobicity and potential for various chemical reactivity. This compound may exhibit properties typical of both phenolic and carboxylic acids, including acidity and the ability to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Its applications could span across fields such as organic synthesis, materials science, and potentially in pharmaceuticals, given the presence of the methoxy groups that can influence biological activity. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential reactivity and toxicity.

(2E)-3-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid

CAS: 38489-74-6

2E-3-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid is a molecule that has been synthesised. It has an unsymmetrical carboxylic acid group, and is not a natural product. 2E-3-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid can be made by irradiation of vanillic acid and epigallocatechin. The molecule is the chromophore in the profile of irradiated (2E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid. The compound was synthesised using nitrogen atoms and uv irradiation to break down the vanillic acid and epigallocatechin molecules into smaller fragments of molecules. This process takes around 24 hours to complete.
