Methyl 4-cyanocinnamate

Description:
Methyl 4-cyanocinnamate is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a cinnamate backbone with a cyano group and a methyl ester functional group. It typically appears as a crystalline solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the temperature and purity. The compound is known for its aromatic properties, attributed to the presence of the phenyl ring, and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. Methyl 4-cyanocinnamate is often utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the cyano group, which can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, it may exhibit UV-absorbing properties, making it of interest in the development of UV filters in cosmetic formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
