2-Hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid, commonly known as phenylacrylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a phenyl group attached to a propenoic acid backbone. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a slightly sweet, aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water. The presence of both a hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid group in its structure contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and polymerization. Phenylacrylic acid is often used as a building block in the synthesis of polymers, resins, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, it has applications in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Due to its functional groups, it can also exhibit mild acidity and may engage in hydrogen bonding. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
