2-Propenoic acid, 3-phenyl-, ethyl ester, (2Z)-

Description:
2-Propenoic acid, 3-phenyl-, ethyl ester, commonly known as ethyl cinnamate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from cinnamic acid. It features a phenyl group attached to the propenoic acid backbone, contributing to its aromatic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral aroma reminiscent of cinnamon, making it popular in the fragrance and flavor industries. Ethyl cinnamate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits moderate volatility and can undergo various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. Additionally, it has applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds and is studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. As with many esters, it is important to handle ethyl cinnamate with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
